3.4.1.5 Storage Cartridge Transfer
The procedure for saving or loading the database or calibration constants of an instrument to/from a stor-
age cartridge is as follows:
1. Insert the cartridge containing the desired database in the HHC. The cartridge is inserted by
placing it into the recess at the back of the HHC with the cartridge label facing outward and up,
then sliding the cartridge down until it is firmly seated. When loading to the instrument, verify
that the write protect switch (when present) on the cartridge has been pushed to its outside
position. When saving to the cartridge the write protect switch must be toward the inside.
2. To initiate the TRANSFER operation, press T at the command entry point. The following menu
appears:
MEMORY TRANSFER
F1-TO CONTROLLER
F2-FROM CONTROLLER
3. Press either F1 or F2 to select the desired operation. Pressing
C TRL -C aborts the operation.
Depending on which selection is made, one of the following two menus is displayed:
a. If
F1 is selected, the following menu appears:
F1-CALIBRATE
F2-DATABASE
F3-PROGRAM (not applicable for this instrument)
Based on which selection from this menu is made the following operations can occur:
• F1-CALIBRATE: This selection copies the calibration values of the standard analog
inputs and outputs to the controller. These are values that were previously saved to
the storage cartridge with a memory transfer from the controller. This transfer takes
approximately 1 second.
• F2-DATABASE: This selection copies the database, less the calibration values, and
the assigned instrument address to the instrument. Transfer takes approximately 12
seconds.
• F3-PROGRAM: This selection is not applicable for this instrument.
b. If
F2 is selected, the following menu appears:
FP-DATABASE
F3-PROGRAM (not applicable)
Based on which selection from this menu is made, the following operations can occur:
• F2- DATABASE: This operation copies the entire database, all B, L, C, H, A, and F
datapoint values, in the instrument to the storage cartridge. Transfer takes approxi-
mately 12 seconds.
• F3- PROGRAM: This operation is not applicable forthis instrument.
When the transfer begins, a message is displayed indicating the transfer has started. Another
message appears when the transfer is completed. If the transfer fails, an error message is
displayed instead of the transfer completed message. If an error does occur, resolve the cause
and re-initiate the transfer. A transfer error should not be ignored, as a partial transfer may
cause the HHC cartridge to contain corrupted data. The HHC returns to the command entry
mode if the transfer is successful or if it is halted with an error message.
