Start the CardConvert utility. When CardConvert is started, a summary of its
current settings is displayed in the lower right hand screen. There are four

runs, only the default Output File name must be changed.
• Click on the “Select Card Drive” button and navigate to the temporary
directory that contains the raw time series and flux data files. Select
the drive and click on the “OK” button.

series and flux data with multiple passes through CardConvert. TIP
• Click on the “Change Output Dir” button and navigate to the folder to
store the processed data. Select the drive and click on the “OK”
