2-30 8. CF Card
Notes on Handling the CF Card
1. POD can recognize a CF card in the FAT file system. It cannot recognize a FAT32-formatted CF
card.
2. Do not insert or remove the CF card during access. Doing so may destroy data on the CF card.
The CF card can be inserted or removed safely when the Main Menu screen is displayed. Before
mounting or removing the CF card, be sure to check that the CF card is not being accessed.
Doing so may destroy data on the CF card or cause CF card failure.
However, if the [Card Menu] switch is pressed on the Main Menu screen and the CF card
operation screen is displayed, it is not possible to insert or remove the CF card.
3. Do not turn the power off or on during access to the CF card.
4. Make a backup copy of the CF card at regular intervals.
5. If there should be a disk error and you cannot read/write data, you can scan the disk in Windows to
restore the disk data.
If not restored, initialize the CF card. Note that the data in the CF card will be completely deleted
by initialization. (For more information on scanning the disk or operating Windows, refer to the
Windows manual.)
6. The number of writing times per CF card is limited (approx. 300,000 times).
Consequently, frequent writing at short intervals may shorten service life of the CF card. When
using a CF card to save sampling data, be aware of the sampling time. Be sure to always avoid
writing to a CF card with the CYCLE macro command.
