An example of a 64 MB CF card is shown in Figure 13 below.
Figure 13: 64 MB Flash Card
When you insert a CF card into the DL-V3, enter a DISK FORMAT command using the Console
window in NovAtel’s Control and Display Unit (CDU) graphical user interface software. Wait a few
minutes and use the DL-V3 power button to turn it off and then on again. When power is returned, the
DL-V3 should be able to recognize and use the CF card. For more information on CDU see Section
6.2, CDU starting on Page 99.
Data Logging
See Section 4.4, Using the DL-V3 starting on Page 63 to begin collecting data.
Collected data can either be transmitted to a host computer over a serial port, or stored on the CF card.
If you choose to log data to the CF card, each logging session is stored in a single, unique file. These
files can then be transferred to a host computer, for data analysis or other types of post-processing, by
one of two methods:
· Transfer the data by means of serial communications, for example, DLVTool in CDU
· Physically remove the CF card from the DL-V3 and insert it into the host computer,
provided that it is also suitably equipped with a CF card port
Refer to the DLVTool chapter, and the DL-V3 commands and logs, detailed in the DL-V3 Firmware
Reference Manual.
Access Door
From Figure 14, Compact Flash Card Door (shown with its latch in the open position) on Page 54,
you can see that the CF card access door is closed with a latch (reference 1 in Figure 14 on Page 54).
As long as the latch is secured, it provides a water and dust-resistant seal around the CF card.
To open the CF card access door, turn the latch counter-clockwise, until it releases the door.
