4 Changing the CompactFlash card
Important
CompactFlash cards (CF cards) only have a limited number of write cycles,
i.e., they age (typically 1,000,000 write cycles). You should therefore check
the CF card regularly for errors in Windows and replace with a new card
where necessary. The service life of a CF card depends on the loading and
the manufacturer.
Ensure that a current, high quality CF card, type 1, CF version 4.1 is used
with at least 8 GBytes so that a high data rate can be achieved; older CF
cards usually have lower data rates. The card must be formatted with the
NTFS file system before insertion.
An 8 GByte CF card is included in the scope of delivery of the CX22‐W Data
Recorder.
4.1 Procedure for removing the CF card
NOTE
Do not replace the CF card when the CX22‐W is switched on.
This could damage the CX22‐W or the CF card or, if measurement data are
being recorded, this could cause all the data of the test to be lost.
Switch the CX22‐W off before replacing the CF card.
1. Undo the retaining screw for the CF card (Fig. 3.2 on Page 12). The
screw must not be removed, it should just be loosened.
2. Swivel the cover plate upwards to expose the slot for the CF card.
3. Use a blunt object, e.g. a ball‐point pen to press the ejection button on the
right in the CF card slot (Fig. 3.2).
4. Remove the CF card.
5. Read Section 4.2, this describes the insertion of the CF card. The
CX22‐W should not be operated without a CF card, as no data can be
stored.

15
QuantumX Data Recorder CX22‐W
A3169-1.0 en/de HBM
4.2 Procedure for inserting the CF card
The CF card must be formatted with the NTFS file system. You can carry out
this formatting with any PC that has a CF card slot or a CF card adapter and
uses Windows XP or higher.
NOTE
Switch the CX22‐W off before replacing the CF card. Otherwise the CX22‐W
or the CF card could be damaged or, if measurement data are being recorded,
this could cause all the data of the test to be lost.
1. Unless otherwise already implemented, undo the retaining screw of the
CF card slot (Fig. 3.2 on Page 12) and swivel the cover plate upwards.
The screw must not be removed, it should just be loosened.
2. Hold the CF card with the top facing upwards.
3. Slide the CF card into the slot until you feel a slight resistance at the end
when the contacts slide into the internal contact strip. The CF card must
disappear completely inside the slot.
4. Swivel the cover plate down until it engages in the protective casing
recess and the slot is covered.
5. Tighten the retaining screw by hand.

5 Connecting the CX22‐W Data Recorder
Apply a supply voltage of 10V - 30V (DC) to the X103 connection (see
Fig. 5.1). Use a supply voltage with sufficient power if any QuantumX modules
connected to the CX22‐W also need to be supplied. The NTX001 power
packs available from HBM can supply a CX22‐W and two further modules.
Set up the connection to a PC first before connecting the QuantumX modules.
Implement the configuration either directly via the CX22‐W Data Recorder
(Section 5.1) or via a Remote Desktop Connection from your PC (Section 5.2
and Chapter 6). Then connect the QuantumX modules e.g. via FireWire with
the CX22‐W Data Recorder, see Section 5.3.
5.1 Operation with monitor and keyboard/mouse
This type of operation is the simplest. It does not require any configuration,
but you will need a monitor with digital input (DVI) and a mouse and keyboard
with USB connection.
Connect the mouse and keyboard to the USB sockets of the CX22‐W. The
monitor is connected with a commercial DVI monitor cable to the DVI socket
(see Fig. 3.1 on Page 12 for all connections). Connection via VGA is not pos
sible, not even with a DVI/VGA adapter connector as the leads required for
VGA are not assigned.
Switch on the power supply and wait until the boot process is complete and
the module is ready.
Important
The CX22‐W factory setting for the input language (keyboard layout) is EN
(English). If you connect a keyboard with a different layout, select Exit to
Windows in the start screen and then press Shift‐Alt or change the input lan
guage via the language bar in the task bar.
Set the location for your country if necessary using the Windows Control
Panel (“Regional and Language Options”). The setting influences, e.g. digit
settings and the time.
Set other settings via the start screen (CX22 Start Screen), see Chapter 7.
Tip
See also Chapter 9, Configuring the CX22‐W for automatic measurements,
from Page 33.

A3169-1.0 en/de HBM
5.2 Connecting to a PC
The CX22‐W Data Recorder is connected to the PC via Ethernet. There are
different variants, depending on your PC/network configuration, and the con
nection procedure depends on the variant:
1. CX22‐W and PC are connected directly via an Ethernet cable.
2. The CX22‐W Data Recorder is connected with an Ethernet network
(generally automatic assignment of network configuration via DHCP,
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
3. The CX22‐W Data Recorder is connected via WLAN (CX22‐W only).
The initial configuration of a CX22‐W with WLAN must be implemented either
with monitor and keyboard (see Section 5.1) or via a connection with Ethernet
cable. You can then also activate the WLAN interface during this configuration
and enter the parameters for a WLAN connection.
Important
Wait approx. 1 minute after switching on the CX22‐W before setting up a con
nection so that the boot process is complete and the module is ready. Other
wise you may receive an error message that the device could not be found.
To facilitate setting up a CX22‐W connection with unknown settings, you can
use the HBM program “QuantumX Data Recorder Assistant”. The settings
required are described in the following chapter. If you already know the IP
address of the CX22‐W, you can also directly set up a Remote Desktop Con
nection (standard program in the Windows operating system). You can find
the Remote Desktop Connection program under All programs -> Accessor
ies (Windows XP: Programs -> Accessories).
5.3 Connecting QuantumX modules
Important
If you are already using QuantumX modules and want to connect them with a
CX22‐W Data Recorder, install the latest module firmware. If you want to add
new modules at a later date, please install the latest software on the CX22‐W
using the Recovery function, see Section 11.2 on Page 39. The latest soft
ware is always installed during restoring. You may receive a request, after
starting catmanAP, to update the firmware of older QuantumX modules.

FireWire in the same way as is the case with other QuantumX modules: e.g.
1‐KAB269‐x, connection X100 of the CX22‐W to X101 on the first module, this
module with connection X102 to X101 on the next module, etc. Alternatively,
you can also connect all QuantumX modules via Ethernet to the CX22‐W. If
you have more than one module, you will require an Ethernet Switch.
In the configuration shown below, the supply voltage of the modules is looped
through FireWire (maximum 1.5A via FireWire; power consumption for a
module or the CX22‐W, see the Technical Data Section in the data sheet).
You can connect up to 12 modules via FireWire to the CX22‐W Data
Recorder, supply feed required for every 4 modules. The QuantumX operating
manual contains more detailed data on this.
