b. DataLine
The DataLINE software for a personal computer is
supplied on both floppy disks and CD. This software
allows interrogation, configuration variable assignment,
screen view of the data, hard copy report generation,
cold treatment probe calibration and file management.
Refer to Data Retrieval manual 62-10629 for a more
detailed explanation of the DataLINE interrogation
software. The DataLine manual may be found on the net
at www.contaner.carrier.com
c. DataBank
The DataBank, card interfaces with the controller
through the programming slot and can download the
data at much faster pace when compared to a PC or
DataReader. If the DataBANK card contains a dcx file
from the same controller that is less than twenty four
hours old, the older file will be replaced by the more
current data once the transfer is initiated.

Figure 3- 7 DataBank Card

The DataBank file format is: READ05xx.ML3
where "xx" is the version number. This file
should be the only file other than saved down-
loads (dcx files) inside the card memory. Any
other files may result in card corruption.
1.The unit trip data can be downloaded with the Data-
Bank card if the battery pack has sufficient charge or
the unit can be plugged into power.
2. Turn off unit.
3. Insert DataBank card in the controller programming
slot.
4. Turn on unit, (battery power can be used if unit is not
plugged in). The display module will show the avail-
able card memory space and the user can make the
choice of downloading by trip, last 30, 60 or 90 days,
or ALL Data download via the arrow keys on the key-
pad.
If the card is write protected then "CHECK
CARd" will be displayed (inspect card for the
correct switch position).See Figure 3- 7.
5. Press the enter key at the chosen selection to exe-
cute download.

6. Upon completion, the display will show "dnLd done",
and the unit should be shut off down before the card is
removed. If battery power was used, the controller
will go to back to sleep a few seconds after complet-
ing the download, then remove card.
Files downloaded to the DataBANK card will be in
Carrier 'dcx' format. File name will be of the form:
XXXXNNNNNNN_YYMMDDHHMM.dcx,
XXXXNNNNNNNN is the container number and
YYMMDDHHMM is the year, month, day, hour, and
minute of the last event record or sensor data record
contained in the transfer.
If the unit does not have a valid container num-
ber DataBank will subsitute the container num-
ber with "CTDExxxxxxx" where the last seven
digits will correspond to the last seven digits in
the controller part number.
The MicroLink 3 controller can take up to 30
seconds to complete the power up sequence
after removal of the DataBank card. During this
period the status LED on the MicroLink 3 con-
troller will blink, but the display will not power up.
During this period the "boot loader" software is
being updated.
Data transfers are completed fully or not at all. If not
enough space is available to complete the transfer then
the transfer will not be initiated and "CArd _FuLL" will be
displayed.
If a download/transfer cannot be completed the
application will attempt to erase any partial transfer and
"bAd CaRd" will be displayed.
d. Communications Interface Module
The communications interface module is a slave
module which allows communication with a master
central monitoring station. The module will respond to
communication and return information over the main
power line.
With a remote monitoring unit installed, all functions and
selectable features that are accessible at the unit may
be performed at the master station. Retrieval of all
DataCORDER reports may also be performed. Refer to
the master system technical manual for further
information.

3.6.11 USDA Cold Treatment

Sustained cold temperature has been employed as an
effective postharvest method for the control of
Mediterranean and certain other tropical fruit flies.
Exposing infested fruit to temperatures of 2.2 degrees
Celsius (36_F) or below for specific periods results in
the mortality of the various stages of this group of
insects.
In response to the demand to replace fumigation with
this environmentally sound process, Carrier has
integrated
Cold
microprocessor system. These units have the ability to
maintain supply air temperature within one-quarter
degree Celsius of setpoint and record minute changes
in product temperature within the DataCORDER
memory, thus meeting USDA criteria. Information on
USDA is provided in the following subparagraphs
