CFM100 CompactFlash® Module 1. Introduction Campbell Scientific’s CFM100 CompactFlash® Module stores the datalogger’s data on a removable CompactFlash (CF) card. The CFM100 module connects to the datalogger via the 40-pin peripheral port. Currently, only our CR1000 and CR3000 dataloggers have the 40-pin peripheral port; the CFM100 is not compatible with the CR200-series, CR800, CR850, CR5000, and CR9000X dataloggers.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module 4 Quickstart This section describes the basics of storing and retrieving datalogger data. These operations are discussed in detail in Section 7, Operation of this manual. 4.1 Preparation CAUTION Always power down the datalogger before installing or removing the CFM100 to/from the datalogger. After powering down the datalogger, plug the CFM100 into the datalogger peripheral port. Restore power to the datalogger. Insert formatted CF card.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module CAUTION To prevent losing data, collect data from the CF card before sending the datalogger a new or modified program. When a program is sent to the datalogger using the Send button in the Connect screen of LoggerNet or PC400, an attribute is sent along with the program that commands the datalogger to erase all data on the CF card from the currently running program. 4.

CompactFlash Module 5.1 LEDs/Buttons There is one red-green-orange LED (light emitting diode) and two buttons: control and eject. The LED indicates the status of the module.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module 5.2.2 Backup Power and Data Retention The CompactFlash (CF) cards do not require power to retain data. Typically, a CF card can be erased and rewritten a minimum of 100,000 times. Industrial CF cards, graded for 2,000,000 write cycles, are recommended for most applications. 6. Specifications Storage Capacity: Depends on card size (up to 2 GB supported) Dimensions: 10.0 x 8.3 x 6.5 cm (4.0 in x 3.3 in x 2.6 in) Weight: 132.5 g Operating Temp.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module 7. Operation 7.1 File Formats This section covers the different types of files stored on the CF card 7.1.1 Data Files The datalogger stores data on the CF card in TOB3 Format. TOB3 is a binary format that incorporates features to improve reliability of the CF cards. TOB3 allows the accurate determination of each record’s time without the space required for individual time stamps.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module CAUTION Test the power-up functions in the office before going into the field to ensure the power-up file is configured correctly. The key to the CF power-up function is the powerup.ini file, which contains a list of one or more command lines. At power-up, the powerup.ini command line is executed prior to compiling the program. Powerup.ini performs three operations: 1) Copies the specified program file to a specified memory drive.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module TABLE 7.1-1. Powerup.ini Commands Command Description 1 Run always, preserve CF data files 2 Run on power-up 5 Format 6 Run now, preserve CF data files 9 Load OS (File = .obj) 13 Run always, erase CF data files now 14 Run now, erase CF data files now By using PreserveVariables() instruction in the datalogger CRBasic program, with options 1 and 6, data and variables can be preserved. EXAMPLE 7.1-1. Powerup.ini code.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module 7.1.3.3 Program Execution After File is processed, the following rules determine what datalogger program to run: 1) If the Run Now program is changed then it will be the program that runs. 2) If no change is made to Run Now program, but Run on Power-up program is changed, the new Run on Power-up program runs. 3) If neither Run on Power-up nor Run Now programs are changed, the previous Run on Power-up program runs. 7.1.3.4 Example Power-up.ini Files Example 7.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module 7.1.4 Camera Files JPEG images taken by a digital camera connected to the datalogger can be stored to the CF card rather than CPU memory. This is done by configuring the PakBus setting “Files Manager” for the datalogger. This can be done using the Device Configuration Utility or PakBus Graph. 7.2 Programming 7.2.1 The CardOut() Instruction The CardOut() Instruction is used to send data to a CF card.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module PROGRAM 'CR1000 Public temp DataTable (Table1,1,-1) CardOut (0, -1) Maximum (1,temp,FP2,False,False) Minimum (1,temp,FP2,False,False) EndTable BeginProg Scan(1,SEC,3,0) PanelTemp(temp,250) CallTable Table1 NextScan EndProg 7.2.2.2 Fill and Stop Mode The following program outputs a sample of the panel temperature to the card once a second. The first parameter of the CardOut() instruction is 1, which sets the table on the card to fill and stop mode.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module 7.2.2.3 Mixed Modes The following program stores four data tables to the card. The first two tables will output samples of the panel temperature and battery voltage to the card once a second. The first parameter of the CardOut() instructions is 1, which sets the tables on the card to fill and stop mode. The second parameter is 1000, so 1000 records will be written to each table before stopping.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module BeginProg Scan(1,SEC,3,0) PanelTemp(temp,250) Battery(Batt) CallTable Table1 CallTable Table2 CallTable Table3 CallTable Table4 NextScan EndProg 7.2.3 Table Size and Mode The size of each data table in CPU memory is set as part of the DataTable() instruction and the size of each data table on the CF card is set with the CardOut() instruction. Because they are set independently, they can be different.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module To remove a card, press the control button on the CFM100. The CR1000 or CR3000 will transfer any buffered data to the card and then power off. The Status LED will turn green when it is OK to remove the card. The card will be reactivated after 20 seconds if it is not removed. When the CF card is inserted in a computer, the data files can be copied to another drive or used directly from the CF card just as one would from any other disk.
CFM100 CompactFlash® Module NOTE Check the status of the card before leaving the datalogger. If a CF card was not properly accepted, the CFM100 will flash orange. In that case, the user needs to reformat and erase all data contained on the CF card. Formatting or erasing a CF card might be done on a PC or datalogger. The procedure for formatting a CF card is explained in Section OV5 of the CR1000 and CR3000 manuals. 7.3.2.
