Campbell Scientific CFM100 CompactFlash Module - Manual (Page 20)

CFM100 CompactFlash ® Module
To remove a card, press the control button on the CFM100. The CR1000 or
CR3000 will transfer any buffered data to the card and then power off. The
Status LED will turn green when it is OK to remove the card. The card will be
reactivated after 20 seconds if it is not removed.
When the CF card is inserted in a computer, the data files can be copied to
another drive or used directly from the CF card just as one would from any
other disk. In most cases, however, it will be necessary to convert the file
format before using the data.
7.3.2.1 Converting File Formats
Files can be converted using LoggerNet’s CardConvert. Begin by using
“Select Output Drive” to indicate where the files to be converted are stored.
Then use “Change Output Dir” to choose where you would like the converted
files to be stored. Place check marks next to the files to be converted. A
default destination filename is given. It can be changed by right-clicking with
the filename highlighted. Use the drop-down to select what file format to
convert to. Then press “Start Conversion” to begin converting files. Green
checkmarks will appear next to each filename as conversion is complete.
7.3.2.2 Reinserting the Card
If the same card is inserted again into the CFM100, the datalogger will store all
data to the card that has been generated since the card was removed that is still
in the CPU memory. If the data tables have been left on the card, new data
will be appended to the end of the old files. If the data tables have been
deleted, new ones will be generated.
