The
Import
file function allows automatic ramp/soak program files to be copied from the USB memory device
to the MC. A dialog box will appear listing the available program directories on the USB memory stick. Program
directory names exported from the MC are in the format ‘Programs_mm_dd_yyyy-hh_mm_ss’.
NOTE:
The USB memory stick must be inserted into the USB port for any of the file utility operations to function.
It is recommended to only use memory sticks certified by Future Design Controls for use with the MC.
Future Design Controls has tested and validated these memory devices for proper operation and
performance.
Due to manufacturing variations in the USB memory sticks, it may take a few seconds up to 30 seconds
for the MC to recognize the device when it is plugged in. Allow sufficient time for the device to be
recognized before attempting any file utility operations or the MC will indicate a file transfer/memory
stick error.
When files are being copied to the USB storage device, a directory for each file type will be created to store the
copied files. The directory structure is as follows:
Program files directory: Programs_mm_dd_yyyy-hh_mm_ss
Alarm files directory: Alarm Files_mm_dd_yyyy-hh_mm_ss
Audit files directory:
Audit Files_mm_dd_yyyy-hh_mm_ss
Data files directory
Data Files_mm_dd_yyyy-hh_mm_ss
The purpose for using the date and time as part of the directory name, is to make sure the user can track the
date and time of the file transfer. If a user transfers a file type more than once in a single day, the files will be
grouped logically by time.
When accessing the data files saved to the USB memory stick, the data files will be in “.csv” format. These
files can be opened directly with Microsoft Excel or any program that opens a comma separated file format.
You can copy or empty the “Data Files”’ directory by simply plugging the USB device into a PC’s USB port. The
device then becomes like any removable disk attached to the computer and can be manipulated once plugged
into the PC.
The FDC Data Viewer program is a free Windows accessory program that allows users to view, plot and print
data files and is available from Future Design Controls or any manufacturer that markets the MC product. It is
required when using the digital signature feature of MC.
IMPORTANT:
Once files are deleted from the MC storage devices, they are gone and cannot be retrieved.
DO NOT edit, move or delete any other files from the internal SD memory card unless using
the MC file utilities. The MC will not operate properly if the file/directory structure is altered.
