SD Card Interface
MONITOR supports SD card usage for downloading logged data and setup changes. An
SD card is a portable media storage that is widely available on the commercial market.
MMC cards may also be used with MONITOR.
SD Card Log Download
To download the log using an SD card, simply plug the card in.
•
If the front panel is off when the card is plugged in, an automatic log download
will start in 10 seconds. The automatic download will download since last
download.
•
If the display is on when the card is plugged in, the download log menu will
appear. Navigate the menus and choose the appropriate log download type.
There is a red LED that will light up while the SD card is in use. Please do not remove
the card when it is in use.
Automatic Log Backup
If an SD card is left plugged in, the unit will perform an automatic backup of the log to
the SD card. All the user needs to do is leave the SD card plugged in, and MONITOR
will periodically download the log and save it to a file on the SD card.
With an SD card left plugged in, four hours after the user stops using the display, and
every four hours afterwards, the unit will download the logged data and append it to a
file. Once the file exceeds about 2MB, a new file will be started. The backup will work
until the SD card gets full, at which point it stops downloading.
When visiting the station for maintenance to retrieve the log, it is only necessary to
remove the card that was left plugged in.
Setup and SD Cards
It is possible to save the current setup to an SD card.
SD Card Operations > Write
MONITOR Setup to Card
.
A setup saved to the SD card can be transferred to a PC using an SD card reader. A setup
file can be edited using a text editor on a PC (such as Notepad). Once settings are
changed, the file can be saved to the SD card and sent to MONITOR, changing
MONITOR’s setup.
Setup files on an SD card can be sent to MONITOR using the
SD Card Operations >
Read MONITOR Setup From Card
menu.
