Precautions When Using the CF Card
On the MX100, measured data can only be saved to the CF card (backed up) when
recording of measured data to the PC via communications is turned OFF (unless the /DS
option function is active). In this case, saving of data to the CF card presumes that the
following conditions are met.
• Checking the CF Card Status
Before starting recording, check that the CF card is inserted into the slot, the
installation status is “Exists,” and that “Usable” is “Yes.”
When using the MX100 Standard Software, check that the Status display under CF
Card Information in the System screen is “Exists (Usable).” See “Explanation” in
section 2.2 of the MX100 Standard Software User’s Manual (IMMX180-01E).
When using the API for MX100/DARWIN, check the installation status and usability by
sending the status request command (getStatusDataMX).
Note
• If data saving has been restored after being disabled, due to a media-related error, check
that the installation status is “Exists,” and that Usable is “Yes.”
• If the CF card is inserted during recording and the installation status is “Exists” but Usable is
“No,” data cannot be saved (example 3 in the CF card operation diagram below).
• Operation of the CF Card
If you press the access stop switch (see “Ejecting the CF Card” in section 2.8) during
recording, data is not saved to the CF card even if communication is disconnected.
