Precautions When Using the CF Card
On the MX100, measured data can only be saved to the CF card (backed up) when
recording of measured data to the PC via communications is turned OFF (unless the
/DS option function is active). If communications are disconnected, data saving to the
CF card can commence assuming the following conditions are met. Please note these
conditions.
•
Checking the CF Card Status
Before starting recording, check that the CF card is inserted into the slot, the
installation status is “Exists,” and that “Usable” is “Yes.”
When using the MX standard software, check that the Status display under CF Card
Information in the System screen is “Exists (Usable).”
When using the API for MX100/DARWIN, check the installation status and usability by
sending the status request command (getStatusDataMX).
* See page 2-12 of IM MX180-01E.
Note
• If data saving has been restored after being disabled, due to a media-related error, check
that the installation status is “Exists,” and that Usable is “Yes.”
• If the CF card is inserted during recording and the installation status is “Exists” but Usable is
“No,” data cannot be saved (see example 3 in the CF card operation diagram below).
• The CF card status can only be confirmed when using the MX Standard Software and the
API for MX100/DARWIN. It cannot be confirmed when using MXLOGGER.
• Operation of the CF Card
Do not press the access stop switch (see page 2-24) during recording. Not only when
data is being saved, but anytime the access stop switch is pressed during recording,
data is not saved to the CF card.
