11 Archiving Data on an SD Card
The Sunny Island can save firmware, parameters and measuring data on a multimedia card
(MMC/SD card) that must be FAT-16-formatted and may have a maximum capacity of 2 GB
(possible memory capacities are 32/64/128/256/512 MB as well as 1 GB and 2 GB). Use the
SD card included in delivery solely for the Sunny Island. Do not save any multimedia data on the SD
card.
File names are saved in 8.3 format and files with other designations are ignored.
After you have inserted the SD card into the card reader slot on your PC, you can search for the
respective drive in the Explorer (in Microsoft Windows). The following data are on this drive (here E:):
Format example
A valid 8.3 format is, for example, "M1111LOG.DAT".
8.3 is the "old" MS-DOS format with a file name that has a maximum of 8 figures before
and 3 figures after the dot.
Type of Memory Card
SMA Solar Technology recommends using MMC/SD cards manufactured by Transcend.
If you use a memory card from another manufacturer, check whether the card is
FAT16-formatted. If necessary, format the card. Be aware that data stored on the card will
be lost.
