Changing the CompactFlash card

Important
CompactFlash cards (CF cards) only have a limited number of write cycles,
i.e., they age (typically 1,000,000 write cycles). You should therefore check
the CF card regularly for errors in Windows and replace with a new card if
required. The life of a CF card depends on the demand made on it, and the
manufacturer.
Make sure that you use an up‐to‐date, high‐quality type 1 CF card, CF version
4.1, of at least 8 GBytes, in order to achieve a high data transfer rate; older
CF cards usually have lower data transfer rates. The card must be formatted
with the NTFS file system before insertion.
The scope of supply for the CX22‐W data recorder includes a CF card of
8 GBytes, although cards of up to 128 GBytes can also be used.
Formatting the card
The CF card must be formatted with the NTFS file system. You can carry out
this formatting with any PC that has a CF card slot or a CF card adapter and
uses Windows XP or higher. Right‐click on the drive and select Format from
the context menu.
Converting to NTFS
If formatting with NTFS is not available on your computer, use the
"convert.exe" program. Insert a card formatted e.g. with FAT32 into the
CX22‐W and use the Windows Start menu to call up the command prompt:
Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt (also see Chapter 8 on
Page 38, Exit to Windows). Then enter convert.exe E: /FS:NTFS, to convert
drive E: to an NTFS data medium. The progress is shown in the window.
When "Conversion complete" appears, the data medium is then formatted
with NTFS.

4.1 Procedure for removing the CF card

NOTE
Do not replace the CF card when the CX22‐W is switched on.
Otherwise the CX22‐W or the CF card could be damaged or, if measurement
data are being recorded, this could cause all the data of the test to be lost.
Switch the CX22‐W off before replacing the CF card.
