3. OPERATION
3.1 Overview
3.1.1 PCMCIA card standard compatibility
The embeded PCMCIA driver supports all ATA flash card devices with a size from 2Mb up to 75Mb and
is compatible with the PC card format (type II).
The write-protected signal available on these cards is not tested and not used because of a lack of
standard rules.
3.1.2 PCMCIA card handling
If your recorder is equipped with the PCMCIA option board, you can use a memory card to store the
recorder information.
For this, proceed as indicated in the following figure to introduce the memory card:
Figure 3-1: Card loading in the 180mm or 250mm recorder
Note: The recorder will automatically detect the card presence.
The recorder indicates the writing status by lighting a led located under the display
(see Figure 3-2).
This led must be off when removing the memory card (this can be done with the remove or stop
function), if not, some data may be lost.
To remove the memory card press the button located above it.

3.1.3 Archives summary
Archived data on a PCMCIA memory card may be:
•charts i.e analog inputs, math results or communication data,
•analogalarms,
•digital events,
•recorder events: (no paper, end of paper, burnout ...)
3.1.4 Recorder firmware compatibility
The PCMCIA option is compatible with the 001AK recorder firmware or higher.Older firmware
revisions will not allow your recorder to recognize the PCMCIA option board, the recorder will need to be
updated (see the OVERVIEW section of this manual).
3.2 SETUP
3.2.1 PCMCIA communication interface configuration
The PCMCIA option board is detected at power up during the recorder’s initialization time but, to be able
to use it, the INTERFACE parameter of the MISCELLANEOUS configuration matrix must be set to
PCMCIA.
The default configuration of this parameter is JACK, which allows to configure the recorder with the PC
Configurator software.
When the option board has been detected, the PCMCIA configuration matrices (READ-WRITE, PRINT
CONF and SERVICE) appear and this option becomes TRUE in recorder’s hardware configuration (see
the CARD USED service in the MISCELLANEOUS matrix).
SUB-MATRIX PARAMETER CLASSIFICATION
MISCEL INTERFACE ♦♦♣♣
Definition: Determines which of the PCMCIA option board or the JACK board is
connected to the recorder.
How to modify it: Select a new value.
Possible choices: JACK
PCMCIA
Default value: JACK
Note: This parameter cannot be modified by the PC Configurator software.
Note: The PCMCIA service functions are only available when the interface parameter is set to PCMCIA.

3.2.2 PCMCIA card initialization
When using a memory card for the first time or when changing the file structure of that memory card
(example: adding a file to it), it must be formatted by the recorder.
The recorder formats the memory card in a DOS compatible way and creates ALARMS, EVENTS and
DIAGNOSTIC files if needed, the remaining space is used to create the TREND files.
To archive TRENDS on the memory cards, the DESTINATION parameter of the READ-WRITE\CHART
matrix must be configured (see the chart configuration paragraph).
The storage frequency must also be programmed (see FREQUENCY parameter in the READ-
WRITE\PCMCIA matrix).
The INITIALIZATION service is located in SERVICE\PCMCIA matrix. During its completion, "PCMCIA
INIT" will be displayed and the PCMCIA led will light ON.
Note: All the created files are empty at the initialization time.
3.2.3 PCMCIA card test
The recorder has an internal function that enables to test the memory card. This test takes about 1
minute per Megabyte (4 minutes for a 4Mb memory card).
During the test the recorder checks the possibility to erase, write and read the entire memory space.
Previous data are temporarily stored in a buffer and then re-written after the test so that this PCMCIA
TEST function can be done on DOS formatted cards or not.
In case of error, the PCMCIA status is set to PCMCIA BAD, another status displayed means that the test
has succeeded. (Refer to PCMCIA status § 4.2.2).
During the test the PCMCIA led lights on indicating that data are written on the card.
To stop this test at any time without damaging the card, press the SETUP key.
For more details see the TEST function in the PCMCIA\SERVICE matrix.
Note: Do not remove the card during the test function progress, this may damage the recorded data.
3.2.4 Charts selection
The TREND storage configuration is done in two steps:
;Select TRACE choice in the TRACE parameter of the READ-WRITE\CHART matrix.
;Select a value for the DESTINATION parameter, in the same matrix. See the following table:
SUB-MATRIX PARAMETER CLASSIFICATION
CHART DESTINATION ♦♦♣♣
Definition: Determines where to print or copy charts.
How to modify it: Select a new value.
Possible choices: ON PAPER: trends are printed on paper only
ON FILE: trends are stored on PCMCIA only
PAPER & FILE: trends are both printed and stored in TRENDS file
Default value: ON PAPER
Note: 24 trends can be stored in the PCMCIA card TREND files with a 180
mm recorder.
32 trends can be stored in the PCMCIA card TREND files with a 250
mm recorder.

16 PCMCIA Option Manual
3.3 Archive management
The archive management is detailed in the configuration chapter of this manual.
Archiving on the PCMCIA memory card may be continuous or event driven depending on the START
condition (see § 4.1.3).
3.3.1 Continuous archiving
If the START parameter is configured to CONTINUOUSLY, the information are continuously stored on
the memory card.
However the archiving is stopped each time the measures are stopped, this may happen when a
parameter of the configuration is changed or when a service function is running (all configuration or
service parameters with the "♦♦" classification stop the measures and so the archiving when they are
modified).
The archiving may also be stopped and restarted with the keyboard when the recording is continuous.
On the contrary, the recording may be started and stopped again if the START parameter is set to NO
ARCHIVE.
Note: At the beginning of the archiving, the alarms, the digital events and the recorder events which are
active are recorded in the corresponding file with a star (*), this to indicate that the event or the alarm
may be former to the recording date.
3.3.2 Event driven archiving
The recording may also be driven by a logic input or an alarm: an alarm on or a digital input closed to
start the recording and the same alarm off or the same logic input opened to stop it (see § 4.1.3)
As in the continuous archiving mode, the operator can start or stop the archiving with the keyboard (see
§ 3.4).
The recorder continuously stores the alarms and events status changes in an internal buffer. Therefore,
when the archiving starts, the recorder stores the latest alarm or event status change.
Consequently the alarm or event dates may be prior to the archiving start date.
Note: When driving the archiving both with an event and with the keyboard, the latest action takes the
priority.
3.4 Keyboard archive management
The archive may be managed automatically, but in addition some actions may be done with the
keyboard.
3.4.1 START/STOP actions
By pressing the PRINT key it is possible to access to the "STOP ARCHIVE" or to the "START ARCHIVE"
action depending whether the archiving is running or not.
When the storage is in progress, the "STOP ARCHIVE" message will be displayed, otherwise the
"START ARCHIVE" message will be displayed.
The archiving can also be started or stopped by pressing F1 or F2 keys if the parameters F1 KEY or F2
KEY in the READ-WRITE\MMI matrix are configured to "START/STOP ARCH".
3.4.2 RESET PCMCIA files
The way to erase the files content (to start a new archive session) is to RESET the PCMCIA card by
pressing RESET key and selecting the RESET PCMCIA choice. This is also an easy way to initialize a
new PCMCIA card using.
