Flash Disks
4.5.1 Supported Disk Types
IMPORTANT
: For the Kvaser Eagle, we only support flash disks sold by Kvaser.
For more information on available sizes and prices, contact us.
Due to the high demands placed on the SD card used by an industrial product like the Kvaser
Eagle, we can only support cards tested and sold by Kvaser. Other cards might work;
especially industrial grade cards, but we cannot guarantee their functionality.
If you want to use other disk brands, you can use SDHC (
Secure Digital High Capacity
)
disks, SD (
Secure Digital)
, or MMC (
MultiMediaCard)
disks with your Kvaser Eagle.
The following disk sizes can be used:
Table 1: Usable Disk Sizes

SD

– 2 GB
SDHC

4.5.2 Write Protection Switch
The Kvaser Eagle will
disregard
the write protection switch setting on SD and SDHC
memories. This is by design. The intention is to minimize the risk of a logging failure when the
write protection switch is set by accident.
4.5.3 How to Handle the Disk
Insert the flash disk into the slot on the side of the Kvaser Eagle
(see Figure 4)
with the disk’s
golden connector side up. Do not apply excessive force. The disk should slide smoothly into
the socket. When fully inserted, the disk should fit well within the slot.
Before removing the disk, you must
Connect the device to a PC via USB, or
Completely remove power (disconnect CAN 1 and wait for the PWR LED to go off)
