Front Panel USB Port
The frontal USB port, located to the right of the rotary knobs is intended for the connection
of a standard USB memory stick and can be used for loading or saving sequences for the
arbitrary and the XY generator.
USB 2.0 sticks are accepted and must be FAT32 formatted and have a maximum capacity of
32GB. USB 3.0 sticks also work, but not from all manufacturers. All supported files must be
held in a designated folder in the root path of the USB drive in order to be found. This folder
must be named HMI_FILES, such that a PC will recognize the path G:\HMI_FILES if the drive
were to be assigned the letter G.
The control panel of the unit can read the following file types from USB memory:
File Type
Description
wave_u<arbitrary_text>.csv
wave_i<arbitrary_text>.csv
Function generator for an arbitrary function on voltage (U) or current
(I) The name must begin with wave_u / wave_i, the rest is user
defined.
iu<arbitrary_text>.csv
IU table for the XY function generator.
The name must begin with iu, the rest can be user defined.
ui<arbitrary_text>.csv
UI table for the XY function generator.
The name must begin with ui, the rest can be user defined.
profile_<nr>.csv
Saved user profile. The number in the file name is a counter and not related to the
actual user profile number in the HMI. A max. of 10 files to select from is shown
when loading a user profile.
Table 6-1: USB Memory File Types for Loading
The control panel of the unit can save the following file types to USB memory:
File Type
Description
battery_test_log_<nr>.csv
File with log data recorded from the battery test function. For a
battery test log, data different and/or additional to log data of normal
logging is recorded. The <nr> field in the file name is automatically
counted up if equally named files already exist in the folder.
usb_log_<nr>.csv
File with log data recorded during normal operation in all modes. The file layout
is identical to those generated from the Logging feature in EA Power Control. The
<nr> field in the file name is automatically counted up if equally named files
already exist in the folder.
profile_<nr>.csv
Selected user profile. The number in the file name is a counter and not related to
the actual user profile number in the HMI.
