SD Card File and Data structure
1.
When an SD card is used for the first time a folder is created on the card and named FGA01.
Up to 99 spreadsheet documents (each with 30,000 readings) can be stored in this folder.
2.
When datalogging begins a new spreadsheet document named FGA01001.xls is created on
the SD card in the FGA01 folder. The data recorded will be placed in the FGA01001.xls
document until 30,000 readings are reached.
3.
If the measurement session exceeds 30,000 readings, a new document will be created
(FGA01002.xls) where another 30,000 readings can be stored. This method continues for up to
99 documents, after which another folder is created (FGA02) where another 99 spreadsheet
documents can be stored. This process continues in this same fashion with folders FGA03
through FGA10 (last allowable folder).
SD Data Card to PC Data Transfer
1.
Complete a datalogging session as detailed in above in the previous sections. Hint: For the
first test, simply record a small amount of test data. This is to ensure that the datalogging
process is well understood before committing to critical datalogging.
2.
With the meter switched OFF, remove the SD Card.
3.
Plug the SD Card directly into a PC SD card reader. If the PC does not have an SD card slot,
use an SD card adaptor
4.
Power the PC and run a spreadsheet software program. Open the saved documents in the
spreadsheet software program
