Saving Data to the CF Card
Data Saving When Communication Is Disconnected
If communication is disconnected while the PC is recording (saving) measured data and
a 60-s timeout* expires, the measured data is saved to the CF card at 60-s intervals.
When the save operation is started, a file is created for each measurement interval
(referred to as the monitor interval on the MX100 Standard Software). As the save
operation progresses and the file for the shortest measurement interval reaches 5 MB,
the file is closed. At the same time, files of other measurement intervals (files that have
not reached 5 MB) are also closed. Then, a new file is created for each measurement
interval setting once again, and the save operation continues. When the communication
with the PC resumes and acquisition of measured data resumes, the save operation
automatically stops.
To manually stop the operation, press the access stop switch (see section 2.8) located
above the CF card slot on the main module.
The table below shows the interval (a guideline) over which data can be saved to the CF
card when one type of measurement interval is used.
* The time from the point when the communication between the PC and MX100 is
disconnected and acquisition of measured data is stopped to the point when data storage to
the CF card starts.

Capacity of the CF card
For a description of other specifications related to data storage, see “Data Storage” in
section 4.2, “Main Module Specifications.”
File Structure and Saved Channels
A file is created on the CF card for every measurement interval. The measurement
interval is the one specified as the monitor interval under Measurement Group in the
Acquisition Conditions screen of the MX100 Standard Software (not the recording
interval).
Measurement groups of the same monitoring interval are saved to the same file. The
channels saved to the file are those whose Monitor check boxes are selected in the
Channel screen (not those whose Record check boxes are selected). For a description
of other specifications related to data storage, see “Data Storage” in section 4.2, “Main
Module Specifications.”
