Start the CardConvert utility. When CardConvert is started, a summary of its
current settings is displayed in the lower right hand screen. There are four
screens/parameters to setup and configure in CardConvert. Once configured,
CardConvert will save these settings in the Windows Registry. In subsequent
runs, only the default Output File name must be changed.

Click on the “Select Card Drive” button and navigate to the temporary
directory that contains the raw time series and flux data files. Select
the drive and click on the “OK” button.
Since it is likely that the online flux and time series files will be
broken down into different sizes based on time, process the time
series and flux data with multiple passes through CardConvert.

Click on the “Change Output Dir” button and navigate to the folder to
store the processed data. Select the drive and click on the “OK”
button.

Click on the “Destination File Options” button, the Destination File
Option screen will appear. Configure the screen as shown in Figure
