USB storage:
Requirements:
Size
At least 4 GB (or a partition at least with this size)
Free memory
At least 3 GB for the circular buffer (only for parallel recording)
File system
FAT32, NTFS or ext4
USB
Version 2.0 (partly USB 3.0 memory is also supported)
You could connect USB flash drives and external hard drive up to a maximal supply current of
500 mA. External power supplies must not be connected to the hard disk.
If the USB memory is pulled in the operational state, the following problems exists:
The logger is in an undefined state and will not record any data.
Only after rebooting the device behaves as expected.
The data on the USB memory can then be unreadable when it is removed during a write
operation.
If you turn off the BLUEPIRAT Mini with the
[ON / Trigger]
button, you have 5 seconds to re-
move the medium before the logger can be reawakened.
Note: MAGNA Telemotive GmbH recommends the testing of every external storage be-
fore using it in a measurement. We suggest that especially USB devices with USB 3.0 are
sometimes not recognized by the system.
