Typically, a setup is created using Lizard Setup Software and uploaded
into the QML logger using the AWS Client software. You can also test
new setups in an alternative way. After you have created a new setup,
you can copy the setup file (or several files) to the CF memory card to
be executed in the QML logger.
This requires that the boot code version of your QML logger is 4.07 or
higher. The boot code is independent of the firmware software. In order
to check the boot code version, give the SYSINFO terminal command.
In case your boot code version is lower than 4.07 and you wish to use
this new feature, contact Vaisala. You will need to send your logger to
Vaisala for the update.
The QML logger supports external memory cards of up to 2 gigabytes.
Cards can be read directly in the PC. Several different types of readers
are commercially available: internal PCMCIA reader as well as external
readers to be connected to USB or parallel port of a PC. It is
recommended that you only use cards purchased from Vaisala that have
been tested to function in harsh environments.
The setup file can be located in any logger directory but in order not to
exceed the maximum path length, Vaisala recommends that you store
the file either in the root directory or in the first one below the root.
If you want to test several setups, you can copy all of them to the CF
card at the same time. However, only one setup file will be executed at
a time.
NOTE If the CompactFlash memory card has not been formatted, it must be
formatted before use.
In MAWS versions 6.00 and later, it is recommended that you format
the card in a Windows PC. The file system to use is FAT (not FAT32).
Also, do not select the quick format option.
To format the CF card in the QML logger, insert it into the CF slot of
the QML logger. Give the EXTFS ERASE command. After the card
has been formatted, you can remove it from the slot and carry out the
copying of the setup file(s) in your PC.
NOTE The maximum number of characters allowed in the path name is eight
(8). The maximum number of characters allowed in the file name is
eight (8), and the maximum number of characters allowed in the file
name extension is three (3), as in Lizard Setup Software.
