Card slot
micro-SD and micro-SDHC
The card slot for micro-SD and micro-SDHC memory
cards is found right of center under the back cover of the
mz-18 HoTT mz-24 HoTT transmitters:
In addition to the micro-SD memory cards that come
standard, all conventional micro-SD memory cards with
up to 2 GB and micro-SDHC cards with up to 32 GB
memory can be used. The manufacturer recommends
using memory cards with a maximum of 4 GB since this
capacity is normally suffi cient.
The memory card delivered with the transmitter like the
memory cards used in digital cameras or cell phones is
inserted into the slot behind the cover with the contacts
facing up and then locked in place. After insertion of the
memory card, the transmitter cover can be closed.
When the provided memory card or another memory
card has been inserted in the transmitter at least once,
the card is ready for use directly after the transmitter
is switched on. If the transmitter is switched on after
the memory card is inserted, the stylized memory card
icon is displayed in colour and not grey in the basic
display, see page 20. Otherwise, a few folders are fi rst
created on the memory card.
Removing the memory card
Open the cover on the back. Press the SD card slightly
toward the card slot to unlock it and then remove it.
Capturing and saving data
The data memory on the SD card is linked to
timer 1. Once this starts, data storage also
starts assuming that an appropriate memory
card is in the card slot and there is a telemetry link with
the receiver. Data storage stops when the timer 1 stops.
Timer 1 starts and stops as described in the section
"Timer" on page 80.
After data storage is fi nished, an (empty) "Models"
folder and "LogData" folder appear on the memory
card. Finally, the log fi les are saved in subfolders
called "Modelname" named according to the structure
0001_year-month-day.bin, 0002_year-month-day.
bin. If in contrast a model memory is still nameless,
the corresponding log fi les are saved in a subfolder
entitled "NoName" after the memory card is removed
from the transmitter and inserted in the card slot of a
desktop or laptop computer. The data can be evaluated
on a compatible computer using the programs found
on the downloads page for the transmitter under www.
graupner. de.
Important instructions:
•
Claims cannot be reimbursed which
are not supported by a log fi le. For the
same reason, the transmitter must also
always be updated to the most recent software.
Please note, for technical reasons there is no
data recording during playing mp3 fi les.
•
In order to be aware of important
software updates, you should therefore
register at https://www.graupner.de/en/
service/product_registration.aspx. This will allow
you to automatically receive updates by e-mail.
Importing and exporting model memories
To exchange data between transmitters of the same
make or to backup data, model memories can be copied
to the inserted memory card, or from the memory card
to the transmitter. More information can be found in the
section "Importing/exporting from the SD card" starting
on page 59.
Note:
•
Some of the special characters used in
model names cannot be transferred to FAT
and FAT32 fi le systems due to the specifi c
restrictions of these fi le systems used by the memory
card and are therefore replaced by a tilde (~) during
the copying process.
• The model memories of the mz-18 and mz-20
transmitters are in principle compatible, however:
In order to import from an SD card in another a
transmitter, the desired model memory must be
copied or moved to a corresponding directory on a
desktop or laptop. For example from \\Models\mz-24
to \\Models\mz-18 or vice versa.
More information on importing from an SD card can
be found on page 59.
NOTE:
After importing from an SD card, you need
to check each and every model
function and in particular adapt the control
and switch functions into the respective transmitter.
