13.4.4 Transferring Noggin Data to a PC using the Removable Drive

To transfer data collected or copied (13.4.3: p.118) to the removable Compact Flash drive to a
PC, eject the compact flash drive from the DVL and insert it into a user-supplied card reader
connected to a PC. Use the Windows Explorer program to make a new folder on the PC, read the
removable drive and copy the Noggin data files to the new folder.
Figure: 13-15 Noggin data files saved to the removable drive are easily transferred to a PC. First, power down the
DVL, then (i) loosen both of the finger-screws on the top of the DVL so the drive door can swing open freely. (ii) Press
the button to partially eject the compact flash drive. (iii) Remove the drive and insert it into a PC card reader (user sup-
plied). Copy the Noggin data files from the drive into a folder on the PC using the Windows Explorer program. The
EKKO_View program can then be used to view the Noggin data.

13.4.5 Viewing Data Files on the External Computer

After transferring data files to the external computer the Noggin data files can be viewed,
processed and plotted using the EKKO_View and EKKO_Mapper software.
