5.6 Data transfer from and to the instrument
There are two ways of transferring the setup data to or from a recorder:
- transfer via the CompactFlash memory card and
- transfer via interface.
5.6.1 Transfer via CompactFlash memory card
In order to be able to read or write to CompactFlash memory cards from a PC,
you will need a card reader/writer.
When you have installed the card reader/writer, and have inserted a
CompactFlash memory card, you will automatically have a new drive under
Windows. You can access the new drive just like a normal hard disk, using
Windows Explorer.
H
A new configuration will delete the data in the instrument (FLASH
memory). If you want to retain the data, then the function
CompactFlash card Update CF card must be started, or the
data must be read out with the PCA communications software
(PCC) before the configuration is transmitted.
A
CompactFlash memory cards must only be removed from the card
reader/writer if the function “Eject removable medium” (a function
in the PC operating system) has been activated first.
H
Only one configuration file can be saved to the CF card at any
time, since there is no file name as a variable.
Measurement data from several instruments can be on the same
CF card, since they have unambiguous identifications.
