Chapter 3 Installation and Set Up

Figure 14: Compact Flash Card Door (shown with its latch in the open position)

To remove the CF card, unlock the access door. When the door is open, you can see an eject button to

the left of the card. You must push this button to partially eject the card. Grasp the card and pull it all

the way out.

WARNING: Do not change the card while logging is in progress. Data will be lost. It is not

necessary to turn the receiver off before inserting or extracting a CF card if you

are not logging data. See Step 4, Stop the Data Logging on Page 64.

To insert the card, ensure that it is correctly aligned before gently sliding it into the slot. When the card

slides all the way in and locks in place, the eject button extends. If you attempt to insert the card

incorrectly, it will not go all the way in, and the eject button will not extend. In this case, do not force

the card! Remove it, orient it properly, and then insert it. After the card is locked in place, close the

cover.

The data logging mechanism is designed to be robust and to endure power interruptions (and similar

disruptive events) with minimum loss of data. In this situation, allow for your data to be possibly

reduced by several seconds up to a maximum of five minutes. When possible, error messages are

generated to identify problems as they arise. See also the RXSTATUS description in Chapter 7, Built-

In Status Tests starting on Page 33.

Card Choice

You have the flexibility of choosing the CF card with the storage capacity that is the most appropriate

for your needs, based on the selected logging rate. This is discussed in greater detail in Section 4.4,

Using the DL-V3 starting on Page 63.

Take for example the case where you have to format and use a CF card (the DL-V3 comes with a 64

MB card but up to a 2 GB card is compatible):

1. Connect your PC to COM1 of the DL-V3 at 9600 bps using a null modem cable with any simple

terminal program, for example, HyperTerminal or CDU.

2. Power on the DL-V3 and wait until you see the BOOTOK message.

3. Type in LOG VERSION in the terminal program and press the <Enter> key to ensure you have a

two-way serial connection with the DL-V3. If you do, a VERSION output message appears. For
