3/bAd is displayed (see Figure 2-16). Err4/bAd indicates the internal memory is full, saving only the most recent 75 scans. The new card is updated with the scans in memory.

Memory Card Data Extraction

Measurement data recorded onto a memory card can be read only by a PC running Starter or Logger applications software. If you want to have a copy of the measurement data when it is being recorded, connect a printer during scan operations (see Chapter 5, Printer Operation). If using a printer, verify the data destination is "both" (memory card/printer) (see Figure 5-3).
