Getting Data Into and Out of Your PQube
SD Card
The SD card is the hard drive of your PQube. All of the data is recorded to the SD card. At any time
you can remove the SD card by following the directions in for Inserting and Removing Your SD Card
(page 44) and look at the files using any computer.
Recorded data is stored in folders that are organized by year, month, and day. Log files and other
useful diagnostics are stored in the Log folder. Your PQube gets all of its setup information from
the Setup.ini file found in the root directory of the SD card.
Your SD card stores 2 years of data under normal operating conditions. When your SD card
becomes full, your PQube automatically deletes the oldest month of data.
NEW: In Firmware 2.0, you can configure your PQube to stop recording when the SD card becomes
full, so you can decide which files to move off the card.
WARNING: If you choose to stop recording, you will not be notified that the SD card is full. It is
important to periodically check the SD card for sufficient space; otherwise your PQube may stop
recording new data for an extended period of time, until you check the SD card again.

Receiving Email from your PQube
After you have configured your PQube to send and receive email and you have enabled the
Send_Email_On_Recording tag in your setup file, your PQube will automatically send an email whenever
it records Events, Snapshots or Trends. The email will contain all of the details about the recording
and it will attach any related files (such as spreadsheets or graphs). Your PQube can send emails to
up to 10 recipients.
In Firmware 2.0 you can specify up to 3 recipients to receive Summary-only emails after events.
These emails contain the Event Type, Magnitude, Duration, Trigger Date, Trigger Time, Channel,
and Threshold, with no HTML.
In Firmware 2.1, you can choose which types of emails to receive from your PQube. This is useful if
you need to reduce network bandwidth. For example, you may want to enable emails for events
so you can respond to problems more quickly, and disable emails for trend reports (which may
include large attachments).
Sending Email to your PQube
Your PQube can respond to your emails. In your setup file, set Incoming_Email=ON to begin sending
emails to your PQube. Your e-mail must meet all of the filter requirements in your Setup.ini file.
By default, your PQube is configured to check for new mail every 10 minutes. You can change this
using the Check_Every_N_Minutes tag in your setup file. Whenever your PQube receives an e-mail, it
