4.3.5.3 Important Recording Notes
• While the recording is in progress, the Recording ON” will be displayed on the LCD.
• Downloading data and recording can not be done at the same time.
While downloading data, the writing process to the flash memory will be internally
disabled while the data is being read from the memory flash.
For small amounts of data to be retrieved (1 Day or 1 Week), this is not a significant
interruption in the recording data. However, for large amounts of data (1 Month or 1
Year) it may take 4 to 8 minutes to download the data.
In “Archives_Enabled “ mode, charting remains static, while data download is taking
place.
• The number of temperature values that can be recorded depends on the memory
flash capacity (2 Mbytes, 4 Mbytes or 8 Mbytes) and recording interval time, e.g. 1
minute interval for 4 Mbytes is 1,081,212 minutes or 750 days.
If the flash is busy sending data to the applet to chart the archive, the iSE will refuse
to initiate a call to provide archived data to the second applet until it has finished with
the first one.
• In case of a power outage and NO battery backup, if the unit is recording, the
recording will stop but the data that was stored will be saved.
Please note, the last recorded data (30 minutes to an hour, depending on time
interval) could be lost, due to the fact that the data is initially stored to the buffer
before it is transferred to the Flash Memory and loss of power will erase the data in
the buffer.
• After you start recording, if you need to make any changes in the Recording Settings
you must either click on “Stop Recording” button or push the RESET button on the
side of the iSE and reconfigure the Recording Settings. If you push the RESET button
while the Recording is ON, you could lose a small amount of data that was left in the
buffer.
• If you stop the recording prematurely, when you download the data, you will lose the
last 256 bytes of the data that was left in the buffer and was not transferred into the
flash card. Therefore, we strongly suggest downloading the data while the recording
is still ON and then stop the recording if desired.
