Run Data File Manager: This key activates the File
Manager. The File Manager is used to delete or
rename test report files. It is also used to convert file
types.

format an installed SD card in a manner that is
compatible with the calorimeter.
Note: Formatting will erase all files on the
card!
Copy Run Data to SD Card: This key copies all test
data to an SD card inserted into the rear of the calo-
rimeter controller. This feature is used as a means
of either archiving data or transferring it to a PC.
Note: Subsequent use of the same SD card
will overwrite the data currently on the card.
Copy User Settings to SD Card: This key copies all
previously saved user setups to SD.
