O VERVIEW :
The OMP-MODL utilizes the optional PCMCIA Card System to provide expanded
data storage capacity within the OMP-MODL and/or to provide storage to a
removable memory card that can be removed and transported to another location
where the data is read from the card and saved into a file on the a PC.
For expanded memory capability, the OMP-MODL requires the MLIM-5 Interface
Module (which includes the PCMCIA card socket) and one or more PCMCIA
memory cards. If the memory card is to be used in a transportable mode, an
external PCMCIA drive (PD-1 or also referred to as TMD-650) is required at the PC
location.
With PCMCIA memory card system the following features are available:
♦
Expanded memory... OMP-MODL memory storage increase
from the standard 15,000 (80,000 optional) readings to in excess
of 250,000 readings.
♦
Transportable data... the memory card can be removed from the
OMP-MODL and transported to a PC location where the data
can be read from the card
♦
Field reprogramming of the OMP-MODL... a Program Net can
be built in the office through HyperWare and uploaded to the
PCMCIA card. The card can then be taken to the logger site
and plugged into the unit to reprogram it in the field.
PCMCIA C ARD S YSTEM C OMPONENTS :
The PCMCIA card system consists of the following components:
♦
MLIM-5 Interface Module: the MLIM-5 interface module
installs into the OMP-MODL System Base and contains the
socket into which the memory card inserts. MLIM-5-2400 and
MLIM-5-144 also include this function.
NOTE
This memory card socket is not PCMCIA spec
compliant. For this reason, do not plug any products into
this socket that have not been provided or approved by
Omega Engineering Incorporated.
♦
Memory Card: with varying capacity from 50,000 samples to in
excess of 250,000 samples, this is the transportable SRAM
memory onto which data and Program Nets are stored.
♦
PD-1 (also referred to as the TMD-650) PCMCIA Drive: this
external drive connects to the PC parallel (printer) port and
provides read/write capability between the PC (running
HyperWare software) and the PCMCIA card.
♦
PD-1 Software Drivers: a set of software drivers (CardTalk)
provided with the PD-1 that are installed to hard disk and
