SaveDurationtotheCFCard
We will estimate the duration over which measured data can be saved to a CF card when 
measured data is being saved automatically.
DisplayData
  Save duration to the CF card (estimate) = (Size of the CF card/size of a file)×[file save 
interval]
  Example6:  We will estimate the save duration to the CF card under the conditions 
of examples 1 and 2. In this example, the size of the CF card is assumed to be 256 M 
bytes.
  256 M bytes/1.662 M bytes×24 h
  = 3,696 h
  = 154 days
EventData
  Save duration to the CF card (estimate) = (Size of the CF card/size of a file)×[data 
length]
  Example7:  We will estimate the time until the CF card needs to be replaced 
under the conditions of examples 1 and 3. In this example, the size of the CF card is 
assumed to be 256 M bytes.
  256 M bytes/4.096 M bytes×2 h
  = 125 h
  = 5.2 days
Note
If you format a 256-MB CF card, you will be able to use approximately 246 MB.
TimeuntiltheInternalMemoryBecomesFull
If you are manually saving the measured data in the internal memory, old data is 
overwritten when the internal memory is full. You must save the measured data to the CF 
card before the data is overwritten.
DisplayData
  Time until the internal memory becomes full (estimate) = (Size of the internal memory/
size of a file)×[file save interval]
  Example8:  We will estimate the time until the internal memory becomes full under 
the conditions of examples 1 and 2. The size of the internal memory is 400 M bytes.
  400 MB/1.662 M bytes×24 h
  = 5,776 h  = 240 days
EventData
  Time until the internal memory becomes full (estimate) = (Size of the internal memory/
size of a file)×[data length]
  Example9:  We will estimate the time until the internal memory becomes full under 
the conditions of examples 1 and 3. The size of the internal memory is 400 M bytes.
  400 MB/4.096 MB×2 h
  = 195 h
  = 8.13 days
