SD Card Data Structure

1. When the SD card if first inserted into the datalogger the folder HTC01 is created.

2. The first datalogging session will then create a file HTC01001.XLS. All data will be saved to

this file until the number of columns reaches 30,000.

3. After 30, 000 columns a new file, HTC01002.XLS is created. This is repeated every 30,000

columns until HTC01099.XLS. At this point a new folder, HTC02 is created and the process is

repeated. HTC10 is the final folder.

1. Remove the memory card from the datalogger and plug it into the SD card slot on the PC.

2. Launch Excel® and open the data file on the memory card from within the spreadsheet
