Instrument Memory Warnings
Approximately one third of your instrument's 1 GB of internal memory is
taken up by system data. All remaining data capacity is available for
recordings, notes, and routes. This free memory is capable of
accommodating significant amounts of measurement data.
It is possible for your instrument's memory to become full if large
numbers of high resolution recordings are taken over a long period of
time, or if older recordings are allowed to accumulate unnecessarily.
Large amounts of data will slow the instrument and increase recording
times. You should delete unnecessary data or transfer it to Ascent
whenever possible.
If 80% or more of your instrument memory capacity has been used, a
series of alert messages will display.
