14.3.1 USB device handling hints
Using the USB device
Always plug the USB device into vehicle before power up to ensure that all measurement
data is stored on the USB device.
If the USB device is plugged in after recording has started, only the current data is saved.
Data recorded on the DDU 9 before the USB device is plugged in will not be saved.
Removing the USB device
Always power off the system before unplugging the USB device!
If the USB device is unplugged while recording is active, parts of the measurement data
may be missing.
If the USB device is unplugged and re-inserted for < 4 s while the DDU 9 is powered up,
the DDU 9 still records data.

a different USB device is plugged in, the DDU 9 restarts. In this case, the DDU 9 is not op-
erational for 1.5 s.
