DESCRIPTION SOLUTION
PCMCIA NOT INIT
The card has not been initialized by the recorder. Initialize the memory card.
PCMCIA BAD
There is a failure in the card device. Change the memory card.
PCMCIA FULL At least one archive file (TRENDS, ALARMS, EVENTS or
DIAGNOSTIC) has reached the user-defined %full threshold
(see the % FULL parameter in the READ-WRITE\PCMCIA
matrix).
Save the files on your computer
and reset the memory card (see
§ 4.2.2).
Note: When the PCMCIA FULL message is displayed, the recording continues till the 100% full is
reached then all additional informations to this file are lost except if the ROLLOVER option is set (see §
4.1.3). Other files continue to be normally updated.
3.6 PCMCIA file descriptions
All PCMCIA card files are PC-compatible and are readable by the TrendManager Software package.
3.6.1 File name conventions
PCMCIA files have a fixed extension according to their content: TRENDS (*.LNT), ALARMS (*.LNA),
EVENTS (*.LNE) and DIAGNOSTICS (*.LND).
The content of each type of file is:
• .LNT files co
ntain CHARTS records
• .LNA
files contain ALARMS records (all analog alarms)
• .LNE files co
ntain DIGITAL events records
• .LND
files contain recorder EVENTS records.
The recorder stores data depending on i
ts configuration: TRENDS (charts channels records)
informations are sent to the PCMCIA driver at user-defined frequency, ALARMS (alarms records),
EVENTS (digital events records) and DIAGNOSTIC (recorder events records) are asynchronous
informations and so, are sent at each occurrence.
