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. Before using the CFM100, please study: • Section 2, Cautionary Statements • Section 3, Initial Inspection • Section 4, Quickstart The Quickstart explains how to quickly begin using a CFM100 for straightforward data storage operations. The remainder of the manual is a technical reference which describes in detail such operations as: file formats, datalogger programming and data retrieval. 2. Cautionary Statements • The CFM100 is rugged, but it should be handled as a precision scientific instrument. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the module. • The 28033 surge suppressor and/or a shielded 10baseT Ethernet cable should be used for locations susceptible to power surges and for cable length longer than 9 ft. • Always power down the datalogger before installing or removing the CFM100 to/from the datalogger. • Removing a CompactFlash card while it is active can cause garbled data and can actually damage the card. Always press the control button and wait for a green light before removing card. • LoggerNet's File Control should not be used to retrieve data from a CompactFlash card. Using File Control to retrieve the data can result in a corrupted data file. 3. Initial Inspection Upon receipt of the CFM100, inspect the packaging and contents for damage. File damage claims with the shipping company. 1
