If the same card is inserted again into the NL116, the datalogger will store all
data to the card that has been generated since the card was removed that is still
in the CPU memory. If the data tables have been left on the card, new data will
be appended to the end of the old files. If the data tables have been deleted,
new ones will be generated.
Check the status of the card before leaving the datalogger.
If a CF card was not properly accepted, the Status LED will
flash orange. In that case, the user needs to reformat and
erase all data contained on the CF card. Formatting or
erasing a CF card might be done on a PC or datalogger.
The procedure for formatting a CF card is explained in
Appendix A, CF Card Maintenance
When transporting a CF card to a computer to retrieve data, most users will
want to use a second card to ensure that no data is lost. For this method of
collection, use the following steps.
1. Insert formatted card ("CF-A") in NL116 attached to datalogger.
2. Send Program containing CardOut() instruction(s).
