Erase the Recorder
Figure 20.
WinSC can be used to erase the data recorder inside the WorkHorse. When
instructed, WinSC erases all files in the recorder (be sure your data are
safely backed up!). If you read the PC Card by putting it into your com-
puter, you may delete the file(s) using the DOS delete command. Before
you can delete the file, you must use the DOS attribute command to reset
the read-only attribute.

Backing Up Data
Once you have recovered the data from your PC Card recorder, you should
get in the habit of backing up all data files. Here are several examples of
how to backup data.
•
Use PKZIP to condense the files and store them on floppy disks.
PKZIP has the ability to store large files (span) onto several disks.
•
Remove the original PC Card containing data and store it in a safe
place. Install another PC Card in its place.
•
Backup your data to a CD-RW or other device.
•
Download the data to another computer.
