Data Storage
For convenience and ease it is very important to note that all TARGAS-1 system data is recorded and
saved directly to a USB flash drive (i.e. memory stick or thumb drive). A USB flash drive is included in the
spares kit (Part No. 43034-1) with every new system. Most commercially available flash drives are
compatible with the TARGAS-1.
THEREFORE IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU HAVE A USB FLASH DRIVE WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES
IF YOU WANT TO RECORD DATA WITH YOUR TARGAS-1. OTHERWISE DATA WILL HAVE TO BE
RECORDED MANUALLY.
