IMPORTANT

For optimum performance, regularly check available space on your

microSD card and ensure that the card is exclusively used for the

Micro800 controller and no unnecessary files are present. Regularly

delete old datalog files and directories.

IMPORTANT

Do not remove the microSD card or power down while operations such as

upload, download, delete, search, backup and restore are ongoing to

prevent data loss. A blinking SD status LED indicates that these

operations are ongoing.

IMPORTANT

To prevent data loss, recipe and datalog function blocks must indicate

Idle status before microSD card is removed.
