40 • Calibration and Bump Test Records
Bump Testing or Calibrating and Saving Files To a Flash
Drive Multiple Times In One Day
The SM-2009U assigns 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 SM-2009U’s 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 an SM-2009U’s memory to a flash drive multiple
times during the same day and the SM-2009U’s memory is
cleared, transfer the calibration/bump test record files from
the flash drive to a computer hard drive or some other
memory device before performing another copy operation to
avoid loss of information.
