Data Logging

See Section 3.4, Using the DL-V3starting on Page 51 to begin collecting data.

Collected data can either be transmitted to a host computer over a serial port, or stored on the CF card. If you choose to log data to the CF card, each logging session is stored in a single, unique file. These files can then be transferred to a host computer, for data analysis or other types of post-processing, by one of two methods:

·Transfer the data by means of serial communications, for example, DL Explorer in CDU

·Physically remove the CF card from the DL-V3 and insert it into the host computer, provided that it is also suitably equipped with a CF card port

See also the DL-V3 commands and logs, detailed in this manual.

Access Door

From Figure 16, Compact Flash Card Door (shown with its latch in the open position) on Page 40, you can see that the CF card access door is closed with a latch (reference 1 in Figure 16). As long as the latch is secured, it provides a water and dust-resistant seal around the CF card.

To open the CF card access door, turn the latch counter-clockwise, until it releases the door.

To remove the CF card, unlock the access door. When the door is open, you can see an eject button to the left of the card. You must push this button to partially eject the card. Grasp the card and pull it all the way out.

WARNING: Do not change the card while logging is in progress. Data will be lost. It is not necessary to turn the receiver off before inserting or extracting a CF card if you are not logging data. See Step 4, Stop the Data Logging on Page 51.

To insert the card, ensure that it is correctly aligned before gently sliding it into the slot. When the card slides all the way in and locks in place, the eject button extends. If you attempt to insert the card incorrectly, it will not go all the way in, and the eject button will not extend. In this case, do not force the card! Remove it, orient it properly, and then insert it. After the card is locked in place, close the cover.
