External Capacity
When logging to external media such as CompactFlash cards, the store is
updated with data being added to the card until it becomes full. Logging will
then stop until the card has been replaced with an empty one.
The following equations let the user calculate the record capacity
and the store duration for external media.
Again, these equations should be used only as a guideline, for the
same reasons as given for the internal store and also because of the
approximation that only 95% of the cards capacity is available for actual data
storage. Some example CompactFlash result capacities are given in Table 3.
