Guidelines on
file data transfer
Shop for Power Metering products online at:
The Energy Platform treats the Compact Flash card like a hard disk storing files in DOS
format. For successful card data transfer, keep the following points in mind:
• Compact Flash cards allow users to store multiple files in one card. The Site name
will be used as the filename for record files (i.e. if the site name is Energy Platform
Site, the filename will be Energy Platform Site 00.DDB). A number is automatically
appended to the name such that filenames are automatically incremented every time
the user starts monitoring with that same filename.
• Energy Platform does not support file fragmentation. When creating a file, it will
take the largest contiguous block and use that size block for data storage. Deleting
files from the memory card is NOT RECOMMENDED. When there is no more
space available to begin new data storage, reformat the card using the Energy
Platform, after transferring data files to a computer.
