CompactFlash cards
The 5700 receiver logs data internally on a CompactFlash card.
However, it only support the Type I CompactFlash card. Trimble
recommends that you use an industrial-rated CompactFlash card, as
commercial cards have a limited operating temperature range.
Before logging data to a CompactFlash card, format the card to ensure
the integrity of the file system. To format the card, insert it in the 5700
receiver and then hold down p for 30 seconds.
Note – Make sure that you format your CompactFlash card in the
receiver. This prevents data on the card from being corrupted if the
card is removed while data is being logged. Formatting the card in
your PC may cause data corruption, or loss of data.
When inserting the card, make sure that it slides into the card slot
properly.

Warnings:
– The 5700 allows for a maximum of 512 files on the CompactFlash card,
regardless of the card’s capacity. The file names must be in 8.3 format,
otherwise files copied to the CompactFlash card may cause data
corruption or loss of data when logging.
– If the card does not seat into the pins correctly, do not use force or you
may damage the pins. Remove the card and reinsert it carefully.
