Reviewing Deployment Data
To review deployment data while the flash card is in the electronics housing, complete
the following steps:
1. Boot the PC and start Crosscut (with capture ‘On’).
2. Connect the COM cable provided in the Toolkit to the PC.
3. Remove the dummy plug from the MMP connector and connect the COM cable
to the MMP COM port (on the pressure housing end cap).
4. Press [CTRL]-[C] to terminate the deployment, if it is still in progress. If the
deployment was automatically terminated by the system before recovery,
pressing [CTRL]-[C] wakes the system from low power sleep. If the MMP was
conducting a profile, the operator will be prompted after the first [CTRL]-[C] to
save or discard that portion of the data.
5. From the Main Menu Select <3> Flash Card Ops and then select <2> List flash
card files.
6. Examine the profile count and view the list of data files.
7. From the Main Menu select <7> Offload Deployment Data to view other
deployment data. See Chapter 7 in this User Manual for more information about
the Offload Deployment Data selections.
8. After viewing deployment data, return to the Main Menu and select <4> Sleep.
9. Turn Crosscut’s capture feature ‘off’.
Removing the Flash Card
To remove the flash card, complete the following steps:
1. Open the pressure relief valve on the pressure housing to equalize the internal
and external pressure.
2. Disconnect the sensors, drive motor, and transponder cables.
3. Unscrew the six socket-head stainless steel cap screws that secure the end cap,
pry open the pressure housing, and slide out the electronics assembly.
