You can use the STATUS key at any time during data collection to check the amount of memory you have left as well as the battery levels:
mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss BATTERY:
xxxK BYTES FREE
If during data collection, the TriCoder displays the following message:
WARNING 2K LEFT
HIT STATUS KEY_
it means that the TriCoder has only 2K of memory left to collect data. This is a good time to go and upload your data. You can continue to collect data but you will eventually get this message:
OUT OF MEMORY
HIT ANY KEY_
Pressing a key will take you out of Data Collection mode and back to the Main Menu. You will have to upload your data before you can collect any more.
When you are ready to go back to collecting data, press the F1 key at any time to begin appending data to the existing data file. The F1 key also backs you out of any mode you are in; for example, if you are in Non Portable mode, pressing F1 takes you back to the Main Menu.
