Due to the limited number of storage cycles on the memory card (approximately
100,000 writing events) and for its protection, the Portable FlowShark Pulse initially
stores measurement data to internal memory. The unit saves this data to the card on
an hourly basis, pre-set by the internal system time.
Executing data transmission from the internal memory to the card can occur manually
by activating the unit directly (by pressing any key on the keypad) or by pressing the
ALT key on an activated unit. The unit indicates data transmission is in process by
displaying the message, Memory card busy.
Transmit data to the memory card prior to removing or replacing
the card to ensure all data is saved to the card.
Data is saved in a standard text file (ASCII) format under the following filename:
[measurement location name].TXT. This file can be read and processed using
Microsoft

Excel

.
Do not format the memory cards on a PC; always use the Portable
FlowShark Pulse. The unit can neither use nor accept cards
formatted on a PC.
The unit will always save data with the current date and time at the
moment at which the data is saved.
