Card data retrieval
Data stored on cards can be retrieved through a communications link to the data logger or by removing the card and carrying it to a computer with a card adapter. With large files, transferring the card to a computer may be faster than collecting the data over a communications link.
Removing a card while it is active can cause corrupted data and can damage the card. Always press the Eject button and wait for a green light before removing card. Do not switch off the data logger power if a card is present and active.
File Control (in LoggerNet or PC400) should not be used to retrieve an open file (for example, a file created by using CardOut() or the latest file created by TableFile(), Option 64) from a card. Using File Control to retrieve the data can result in a corrupted data file. However, File Control can be used to retrieve closed files such as JPEG images or files (other than the latest) created by TableFile(), Option 64.
