3.3 Archive management
The archive management is detailed in the configuration chapter of this manual.
Archiving on the PCMCIA memory card may be continuous or event driven depending on the START
condition (see § 4.1.3).
3.3.1 Continuous archiving
If the START parameter is configured to CONTINUOUSLY, the information are continuously stored on
the memory card.
However the archiving is stopped each time the measures are stopped, this may happen when a
parameter of the configuration is changed or when a service function is running (all configuration or
service parameters with the "♦♦" classification stop the measures and so the archiving when they are
modified).
The archiving may also be stopped and restarted with the keyboard when the recording is continuous.
On the contrary, the recording may be started and stopped again if the START parameter is set to NO
ARCHIVE.
Note: At the beginning of the archiving, the alarms, the digital events and the recorder events which are
active are recorded in the corresponding file with a star (*), this to indicate that the event or the alarm
may be former to the recording date.
3.3.2 Event driven archiving
The recording may also be driven by a logic input or an alarm: an alarm on or a digital input closed to
start the recording and the same alarm off or the same logic input opened to stop it (see § 4.1.3)
As in the continuous archiving mode, the operator can start or stop the archiving with the keyboard (see
§ 3.4).
The recorder continuously stores the alarms and events status changes in an internal buffer. Therefore,
when the archiving starts, the recorder stores the latest alarm or event status change.
Consequently the alarm or event dates may be prior to the archiving start date.
Note: When driving the archiving both with an event and with the keyboard, the latest action takes the
priority.
3.4 Keyboard archive management
The archive may be managed automatically, but in addition some actions may be done with the
keyboard.
3.4.1 START/STOP actions
By pressing the PRINT key it is possible to access to the "STOP ARCHIVE" or to the "START ARCHIVE"
action depending whether the archiving is running or not.
When the storage is in progress, the "STOP ARCHIVE" message will be displayed, otherwise the
"START ARCHIVE" message will be displayed.
The archiving can also be started or stopped by pressing F1 or F2 keys if the parameters F1 KEY or F2
KEY in the READ-WRITE\MMI matrix are configured to "START/STOP ARCH".
3.4.2 RESET PCMCIA files
The way to erase the files content (to start a new archive session) is to RESET the PCMCIA card by
pressing RESET key and selecting the RESET PCMCIA choice. This is also an easy way to initialize a
new PCMCIA card using.
