Recording to Media
1. Insert the media in the LX.
2. In the LX Navi, choose New from the File menu.
3. Select the PC CARD as the recording device, specify the directory and file name, and then click OK.
4. Eject the media, and terminate the LX Navi.
5. Power off the LX, remove the IEEE 1394/LAN cable from the rear, and move the LX to the place where
you want to take measurements.
6. Power on the LX and insert the same media.
7. Press the REC button and then the FWD button. The recording will start.
8. Press the PAUSE button. The recording will pause. Recorded data will be grouped into one ID.
After this, whenever the FWD and PAUSE buttons are pressed, an ID will be recorded, and the ID numbers
will be incremented automatically.
9. To stop recording, press the STOP button.
10. When writing to the media is finished, the eject button can be used. When moving the main unit, push
the PC Card eject button to remove the media manually.
■ After the above, if you turn off the power and then turn it back on and record to the same media, the ID
number will be automatically incremented and data will be recorded to the same file name. In the example
of the diagram below, the file will become Aaaaa003.
■ When the media becomes full
When the media becomes full during recording, the recording stops and the data up to that point is made
into a file. You can then replace the media and restart recording. If you are using the LX as a stand-alone
device, you cannot format the media. So, prepare formatted media beforehand. On the new media, the
system will cause the directory to appear in the New dialog box and will use the specified file name.
However, the ID number will again begin from 1. Also, if the directory or file name specified in the New
dialog box already exists on the media, the last ID number is incremented by 1 and the new sequential ID
number is used.
