Can after-market USB flash drives
be used?
They can be used, although for real-
time saving, we recommend using a
Hioki-specified CF card option for data
protection. Operation can only be guar-
anteed for Hioki CF card options. Also,
USB
flash drive security features such
as fingerprint authentication are not
supported.

How much recording space is
available?
It depends on setting conditions (num-
ber of channels and recording interval).
Abo
ut 200 days of recording is possible
using 30 analog channels at 1 s record-

How can I process acquired data
later with a spreadsheet pro-
gram?
Auto-saved files recorded in [Wave-
form(realtime)] mode t
o removable
storage can be quickly and conveniently
converted to a text (CSV) file with the
Utility Logger program, which can then
be loaded into a spreadsheet program.
Auto-saved files recorded in [CSV(
real-
time)]
mode can be directly loaded into
a spreadsheet program, but note that
the data cannot be reloaded into the
HiLogger.

How can I load data from a CF
card onto the PC when it has no
CF card slot?
Data can be transferred to a PC using
the supplied USB cable and the USB
Drive mode.
Data can also be transferred to a PC us-
ing the FTP function and LAN communi-
cations.
