3-11 Using Memory Cards

This section describes how to use Memory Cards.
Memory Cards are used for the following operations.
• Transferring data.
• Saving history files.
• Saving data blocks
• Saving captured images
Data transfer enables screen data and system programs to be downloaded from a Memory Card to the
PT and uploaded from the PT to the Memory Card.
When history files are saved, alarm/event history, data log, operation log, and error log data is saved in
CSV file format. CSV files can be edited on personal computers.
Files can be saved from functional objects or by manipulating system memory.
Refer to 3-6 Using Memory Cards in the NS Series Setup Manual for information on mounting Memory
