3.2.6 Handling of data cards
The 746 VA Trace Analyzer offers the possibility of writing data to SRAM memory
cards and reading data from such cards. The following data cards or memory cards
can be used:
• 6.2245.010 Metrohm Data Card (capacity 128 kB)
• Commercial SRAM cards of any capacity with the JEIDA 4.0 hard-
ware format (68 pins) as well as PCMCIA cards based on these
Owing to differing file systems, PCMCIA cards can not be used si-
multaneously for the 746 VA Trace Analyzer and PCs.
The following points are important in the handling of data cards for the 746 VA
Trace Analyzer:
Preparing data card
Before data cards are used in the 746 VA Trace Analyzer for the first time, the fol-
lowing preparations are necessary:
• New data cards are supplied with a separately enclosed battery. Insert this
in the data card in accordance with the enclosed description.
• Data cards can be inserted in the instrument only in the position shown.
You must therefore affix the enclosed label to the top of the data card.
• The battery of the data card has a limited lifetime specified in the enclosed
description. To avoid inadvertent data losses, we advise you to write the
date of the next battery change on the data card.
• If desired, the date of the battery change can also be stored on the data
card. To do this, proceed as follows:
− Insert data card in the 746 VA Trace Analyzer
(see point ”Inserting data card”).
− Select dialog page ”VA TRACE ANALYZER”.
− Press softkey .
− Press key <1> (memory and data card tests).
− Press softkey (data card, boot block information).
− Press softkey . The date in the Battery
date field is updated.
− Press the key three times.
