Execute card formatting through the I/O > Memory Card > Format card menu.
Due to the card’s storage cycle restrictions (approximately 100,000 writing events),
the FlowShark Pulse only saves incoming data on the card on an hourly basis. This
interval is pre-set through the internal system time. Two exceptions include very
high data density and a cumulative data volume of approximately 3000 – 4000 bytes.
Data is saved in a standard text file format under the following filename: [name of
measurement location set].TXT. This file can be read and processed using Excel.
Do not format the memory cards on a PC; always use the
FlowShark Pulse. The FlowShark Pulse can neither use nor accept
cards formatted on a PC.
The unit will save data as mean values averaged over the
designated interval set in memory, not as current individual values.
