D ESCRIPTION
Starts a batch called name. The name must be no more than 8 characters in length and made
up of characters that are valid FAT16 filename. Restarting a batch already on the CF card will
append the data. If a new batch exceeds the maximum number of batches to be kept, the
oldest batch (i.e. The one last changed) will be deleted. If name is empty, the function is
equivalent to
EndBatch() .
Note: Batch status is retained during a power cycle. Starting a new batch within less than 10
seconds of ending or starting the last one will produce undefined behavior. To go straight
from one batch to another, call
NewBatch() without an intervening call to EndBatch() .
