CSM1 Card Storage Module
9
As with ESX software, the datalogger does not check for
the presence of the CSM1, so if the module is not
connected data could be lost.
Manual dumps to the module are done by setting the baud rate parameter of the
*4 Mode to 9600 baud. Data is then dumped using the *9 Mode.
When reading data that has been stored in the card in ASCII format using
CSMCOM, you should select the format 'As stored (8-bit data)'. This stores the
data, as it is in the card, in printable ASCII format onto disk. You cannot
convert such data to comma-delineated data using CSMCOM.
4.3 DSP4
DSP4s that support storage of data to a Storage Module can be used by
enabling output at 9600 baud in binary (9600B). The CSM1 is used in the same
way as an SM192/716 Storage Module.
The DSP4 does not check if a Storage Module is plugged
in when it outputs data, so if the module is not connected
data will be lost.
When using pre-OSX 21X dataloggers, pre-OS7 CR7
dataloggers and DSP4s you should allow the CSM1 to finish its
power-up test routines, which take about five seconds, before
allowing output of data to the CSM1, as data may be lost during
the power-up test.
4.4 Data Retrieval
Once data is stored in the card, the card or whole module can be unplugged
and the data read off the card. This is normally done using the CSMCOM
program, on an IBM-compatible PC (see CSMCOM manual for full details).
As an initial trial of reading data, connect the CSM1 to the PC, run CSMCOM
and use the N option to collect the newest data file.
If data has been stored in the card in binary format, as is normal when using
Instruction 96, you can specify whether to write the data to disk in comma
delineated or printable ASCII format. If data was stored in the card in printable
ASCII format (on old 21X/CR7 dataloggers) or in Burst Mode binary format,
you should store the data to disk using the 'As stored (8-bit)' option.
5. Storing Datalogger Programs
Datalogger programs can be stored in the cards for subsequent loading into a
datalogger. The programs are stored in the card using the same memory
available for data storage, i.e. there is no reserved area in which programs are
stored. When loaded into the card the programs are put into special files in the
