What Do I Have To Look Out For When Saving Process Data (Curves/Results) - HBM MP85A Series Operating Manual

13.20 What do I have to look out for when saving process
data (curves/results)?
With the No data loss backup method, all data in its entirety is transferred to
the chosen destination system (PC or internal MMC/SD card). If the data can­
not be saved there, however, e.g. because the memory is full, the signal
"Process finished" is not output and the next process cannot be started, i.e. the
test bench is at a standstill.
External storage medium
With this option, the selected data are transferred via the interface. As a rule,
the PC saves the data in this case. For the fastest possible data transfer rates,
use the Fast Ethernet interface (100 Mbits).
Backup to a PC only takes place if there is connection between the PC and the
MP85A and the PME Assistant, EASYmonitor or INDUSTRYmonitor program
has been launched. The open program must be minimized, however. The
EASYmonitor and INDUSTRYmonitor programs belong to the FASTpress
Suite.
In the default settings, the files are located in the installation directory for the
PME Assistant, in the DATA directory. However, you can specify an alternative
->
directory via the File Define storage directory menu. The user logged into
Windows must have write permission for the chosen storage directory.
The NTFS file system is necessary if you are recording numerous processes
and more than 65,000 files may be generated during a test that will be written
to a single directory.
For operation with data backup in the network, we recommend the INDUSTRY­
monitor program, which has been optimized especially for fast data transfer
and enables short machine cycle times.
Backup to a MultiMedia/SD card
On the optional MMC/SD memory card, you can save measured curves, mea­
surement results and parameter sets, as you wish. The number of values that
can be saved varies depending on the card. For example, a measured curve
with 600 triple values (two channels plus time) requires just under 15 kB, which
