8. OPERATION AND FEATURES OF SD/MMC CARD

SD/MMC card to store data may be particularly useful for stationary (on-wall) installations of the recorder 
and when the amount of measurement data to be stored exceeds the capacity of the internal storage. 
Properly installed card in the "

SD/MMC CARD

" slot has the following features:

- store files with values written to the files during recording
- off-line parameter configuration (using a configuration file 

AR236.cfg

 or

 AR232.cfg

 with "

COPY

" button, 

  see section 7)
- move archive 

„csv”

 files from internal storage onto the card (the action may be performed by pressing 

  "

COPY

" button and authorizing or when authorization request is disabled; during the operation 

  "

STATUS

" indicator is illuminated; timing for 4 MB of data - up to 2 min.)

NOTE

:

     

- the action of moving 

„csv” 

files from internal storage to SD/MMC card is performed 

CONCURRENTLY

 

  with off-line configuration. Thus, to avoid undesired recorder reconfiguration, make sure that on the card 
  exists appropriate "

.cfg

" file (or the file does not exist if 

Prot

=

disabled

)

- use only branded SD/MMC cards (e.g. SanDisk or Kingston) formatted using FAT 16 file system for 

 maximum battery durability

cards with capacity over 2 GB may cause device suspension, which requires removing batteries 

 for a while

Notes:

(1)

- parameter available only in ARSOFT-WZ1

               

(2)

-

 

when connected to the USB interface of computer, the device does not record data in a file

the measurement and recording period start with disconnection from USB

               

(4)

-

 

see section 11 for details about operating modes of the display

(5) 

 

- parameters enabling offset for measurement (eg. in case discrepancies between real and 
  measured values are detected)

(6) 

 

- when 

Prot

=

enabled

 only SD/MMC cards containing a configuration file with password 

       (

Pass
