36 • Calibration and Bump Test Records
Bump Testing or Calibrating and Saving Files To a Flash
Drive Multiple Times In One Day
The SM-2001U and SM-2003U assign file names to calibration and
bump test record files based on the day of the most recent calibration or
bump test record saved in the calibration station’s memory. If a copy
operation is performed, additional bump tests or calibrations are
performed, and another copy operation is performed with the same flash
drive all on the same day, the existing file on the flash drive from the first
copy operation will be overwritten by the file from the second copy
operation because it’s name will be the same as the new file. In this case,
no information is lost since the second file saved to the flash drive
includes all the records that were in the first file.
However, if a copy operation is performed, the calibration station
memory is cleared, additional bump tests or calibrations are performed,
and another copy operation is performed with the same flash drive all on
the same day, this will result in the information in the file from the first
copy operation being lost. This is because the file saved to the flash drive
in the second copy operation only includes records since the memory
was cleared and when it overwrites the file from the first copy operation,
all the information in the first file is lost.
CAUTION: If copying a calibration station’s memory to a flash
drive multiple times during the same day, transfer
the calibration/bump test record files from the flash
drive to a computer hard drive or some other
memory device if the calibration station memory is
cleared to avoid possible loss of information during
subsequent copy operations.
