    CFM100 CompactFlash Module Introduction ® Campbell Scientific’s CFM100 CompactFlash Module stores the datalogger’s data on a removable CompactFlash (CF) card. The CFM100 module connects to the datalogger via the 40-pin peripheral port. Currently, only the CR1000 and CR3000 dataloggers have the 40-pin peripheral port; the CFM100 is not compatible with the CR200-series, CR800-series, CR6-series, CR300-series, CR5000, and CR9000X dataloggers.

  • Page 11: Initial Inspection

    A CFM100 with a serial number less than 9728 requires a firmware update to function properly when attached to a CR3000 datalogger with a serial number greater than 6260. This update must be performed by Campbell Scientific. If you require this firmware update, see the...

Using File Control to retrieve the data can result in a corrupted data file. FIGURE 5-1. CompactFlash Module LEDs/Buttons There is one red-green-orange LED (light emitting diode) and two buttons: control and eject.

  • Page 14: Power

    ® CFM100 CompactFlash Module Power 5.2.1 Primary Power The CompactFlash module is powered by 12 Vdc received from the datalogger through the peripheral port. 5.2.2 Backup Power and Data Retention The CF cards do not require power to retain data. Typically, a CF card can be erased and rewritten a minimum of 100,000 times.

    7.3.1 Via a Communication Link Data can be transferred to a computer via a communications link using one of Campbell Scientific’s software packages (for example, PC200W, PC400, LoggerNet). There is no need to distinguish whether the data is to be collected from the CPU memory or a CF card.

  • Page 22: Converting File Formats

    ® CFM100 CompactFlash Module Removing a card while it is active can cause garbled data CAUTION and can actually damage the card. Do not switch off the CR1000 power if a card is present and active. To remove a card, press the Initiate Removal button on the CFM100. The CR1000 or CR3000 will transfer any buffered data to the card and then power off.

    ® CFM100 CompactFlash Module 7.3.2.2 Reinserting the Card If the same card is inserted again into the CFM100, 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.
