7.4 Reading and saving files using the USB port
To read or write files using the USB flash memory select the
button from the title
bar and then the
icon. On the left side of the screen, there is a window with a list of
archive files and screenshots. On the right side of the screen, there are function buttons.
Return to the Main Menu window after pressing the
button.
Plug in the flash memory. Afterwards, a window with setting files (*.par) located on
USB flash memory is displayed. Flash memory must be in FAT16 or FAT32 format (not in
NTFS format). Do not connect the hard disk drive. Compatibility of all USB memory
devices is not guaranteed. Do not use an extension cable when connecting a USB
memory device. This may cause radio interference with other devices.
Using the function buttons it is possible to: copy data from the device to a portable
USB flash memory (archives, screenshots, settings), copy files from the USB flash drive
(settings files) and delete archive files from the device (except for current archives).
Fig. 7.1 An example
view of the ‘USB’ window.
To record the current archive files, select the
Save current archives to USB
option.
As a result three archive files, i.e. data, totalizer and event files will be stored to the
pendrvie.
If another file is to be recorded on a USB drive, first select the relevant file from the list.
The selected file will be marked in blue. Then, choose the option:
Save selected on USB.
The duration of the process is signalled by the blue diode on the face plate. After
correct storage of the date, a suitable message is displayed.
!
Removing the USB flash memory before the writing process is complete may
result in damaging of the recorded files.
To erase a selected archive file, first select the required file from the list and then
select the
Delete selected
option.
There is also a possibility:
saving settings on a USB flash memory (select the
Save on USB
button),
reading settings from a USB flash memory (select relevant file from the list and
then choose the
Read from USB
button).
If new settings file from the flash memory is read, the device will automatically reboot.
