Memory card (HO831)
The HM 8131-2 features a PCMCIA interface and a slot to insert
a memory card (SRAM 64 kB to 1 MB). The data is stored in DOS
format like in a floppy disc drive and can thus be read and used
by any PC . However, the data is structured according to an
inhouse HAMEG standard (HIDAFF) allowing information
interchange between all HAMEG instruments which support
memory cards; this has nothing to do with the DOS format.
Do not attempt to format memory cards in a PC,
formatting must be done in a HM 8131-2.
The item [MCard] of the OPTIONS MENU 1 allows access to all
operations concerning memory cards.

Storage of a signal [Store]
Before an arbitrary signal can be stored it must be defined
which signal and into which memory which is dependent upon
the size of the data. First the main menu 1 has to be called,
then item [ARB] will bring the arbitrary menu "WAVEFORM
SIZE" forward. Here it is to be defined whether 4 k or 16 k. For
4 k the name will be ARB4k.xxx, for 16 k ARB16k.xxx. The data
extension serves to differentiate between signals on the card
(.001, .002 etc.) In the next step the menu MEMORY CARD 1
is called, then item [Store] which stores the signal by the name
selected.
Should there be already a signal with the same
name on the card it will be erased and replaced by
the new signal!

The buttons [Next] and [Prev] allow to shuttle back and forth

or 16k memory will be automatically selected.
