NOTE 1: The Energy Platform does not support
file fragmentation. When creating a file, it will
take the largest continuous block and use that
size block for data storage. Deleting files from
data card is not recommended. Whenever
possible, transfer the files to a computer and then
reformat the card using the Energy Platform
when there is no more space available to begin
new data storage.
NOTE 2: Refer to Chapter 5 Start Menu - Site
Name/Memory Card for more information on
data card operation.
