CompactFlash
The XP PowerStation comes with a CompactFlash (CF) card. The CF is used
as a removable hard drive that is recognized as drive C and provides non-
volatile memory storage. The CF is well-suited for rugged environments
where the PowerStation may vibrate or shake. Although the CF is
removable, it is used as an IDE drive, which means you cannot remove it
while the PowerStation is switched on.
The XP PowerStation supports Type 1 or Type 2 CF cards.
You should purchase at least one additional CF card to serve as a backup
for your primary CF card. It is also useful to own several cards to store
different projects. You can purchase additional CF cards through Parker.
Note:
Do not remove or insert the CF card when the unit is powered on or
data on the card could be corrupted.
