6... PCMCIA CARD CONFIGURATION AND USE

OVERVIEW:

The OMP-MODL utilizes the optional PCMCIA Card System to provide expanded data storage capacity within the OMP-MODL and/or to provide storage to a removable memory card that can be removed and transported to another location where the data is read from the card and saved into a file on the a PC.

For expanded memory capability, the OMP-MODL requires the MLIM-5 Interface Module (which includes the PCMCIA card socket) and one or more PCMCIA memory cards. If the memory card is to be used in a transportable mode, an external PCMCIA drive (PD-1 or also referred to as TMD-650) is required at the PC location.

With PCMCIA memory card system the following features are available:

♦Expanded memory... OMP-MODL memory storage increase from the standard 15,000 (80,000 optional) readings to in excess of 250,000 readings.

♦Transportable data... the memory card can be removed from the OMP-MODL and transported to a PC location where the data can be read from the card

♦Field reprogramming of the OMP-MODL... a Program Net can be built in the office through HyperWare and uploaded to the PCMCIA card. The card can then be taken to the logger site and plugged into the unit to reprogram it in the field.

PCMCIA CARD SYSTEM COMPONENTS:

The PCMCIA card system consists of the following components:

♦MLIM-5 Interface Module: the MLIM-5 interface module installs into the OMP-MODL System Base and contains the socket into which the memory card inserts. MLIM-5-2400 and MLIM-5-144 also include this function.

NOTE

This memory card socket is not PCMCIA spec

compliant. For this reason, do not plug any products into this socket that have not been provided or approved by Omega Engineering Incorporated.

♦Memory Card: with varying capacity from 50,000 samples to in excess of 250,000 samples, this is the transportable SRAM memory onto which data and Program Nets are stored.

♦PD-1 (also referred to as the TMD-650) PCMCIA Drive: this external drive connects to the PC parallel (printer) port and provides read/write capability between the PC (running HyperWare software) and the PCMCIA card.

♦PD-1 Software Drivers: a set of software drivers (CardTalk) provided with the PD-1 that are installed to hard disk and
