Memory Connector With Multimedia Card; Date And Time-Of-Day - Ahlborn ALMEMO 2590-2 Operating Instructions Manual

11.5.2 Memory connector with multimedia card

On devices without internal memory or if memory capacity proves insufficient
or if the data needs to be evaluated elsewhere, you can, as additional external
memory, use a memory connector (ZA 1904-MMC) with a conventional multi-
media flash memory card, available from our range of accessories. The mem-
ory card should preferably be RS form (reduced size), half size, 32 to 512 MB;
measured data is written to it via the memory connector in table mode and in
standard FAT16 format. The MMC card can be formatted and its contents can
be read and deleted via any normal PC using any card reader. Measured data
can be imported into MS-Excel or into Win-Control (the accompanying mea-
sured value software).
The memory connector with the additional memory card can be connected at
socket A2; it is recognized automatically. You can check that this has succeed-
ed in the function
a file name in the function
start of any measuring operation, it will be used. However, in the course of the
measuring operation it must not be unplugged; this would cause temporarily
buffered measured values to be lost.
Memory capacity available, external
Memory capacity free
File name (maximum 8 characters)
Before starting any measuring operation you can, in the function
ter an 8-character file name. In the absence of a user-assigned file name, the
default name ´ALMEMO.001´ or the name most recently used will be suggested
automatically. So long as the connector configuration is not altered, you can
save several measuring operations, either manually or cyclically, also with nu-
merical assignment, all in the same file (see 11.5.6).
If, however, the connector configuration has been changed since the last
measuring operation and if no new file name has been programmed, then a
new file is always created and in so doing the index in the file name extension
is automatically incremented by 1, e.g. . ´ALMEMO.002´. Similarly, if the file name
entered already exists, then a new file will be created with the same file name
prefix but with a new index.

The ring memory function is not supported with external storage
media.

11.5.3 Date and time-of-day

For logging data recordings a real-time clock with date is provided. This real-
time clock is buffered by means of the device battery; in the event of battery re-
placement date and time-of-day are lost. The first line contains the time-of-day
on the left and the date on the right; by selecting this function (see 8.4) these
can be programmed in the format indicated (see 8.5).
