NL116 Ethernet and CompactFlash ® Module
The possibility of missing records is greater when collecting
data via IP. This is due to the high demand of IP on
processor time. The risk is greatest with a CR1000
datalogger using IP, because of its slower processor speed
relative to the CR3000.
7.4.2 Transporting CF Card to Computer
With large files, transferring the CF card to a computer may be faster than
collecting the data over a link.
Removing a card while it is active can cause garbled data
and can actually damage the card. Do not switch off the
datalogger power if a card is present and active.
To remove a card, press the Initiate Removal button on the NL116. The
datalogger will transfer any buffered data to the card and then power off. The
Status LED will turn green when it is OK to remove the card. The card will be
reactivated after 20 seconds if it is not removed.
When the CF card is inserted into a computer, the data files can be copied to
another drive or used directly from the CF card just as one would from any
other disk. In most cases, however, it will be necessary to convert the file
format before using the data.
When dealing with large data files, it may be faster to use an
external card reader (such as pn 17752) rather than a PC card slot.
7.4.2.1 Converting File Formats
Files can be converted using LoggerNet CardConvert . Open CardCovert from
the Data category on the LoggerNet toolbar. Click on Select Card Drive .
Select where the files to be converted are stored and press OK . Next, click on
Change Output Dir
and select where you would like the converted files to be
stored. Place check marks next to the files to be converted. A default
destination filename is given. It can be changed by right-clicking with the
filename highlighted. Press the Destination File Options button to select what
file format to convert to and other options. Press
Start Conversion
to begin
converting files. Green checkmarks will appear next to each filename as
conversion is complete. Refer to CardConvert online help for more
information.
