Full Disk Options

As the disk space on the flash card nears its capacity, the operator will have to decide how to handle the data logging capabilities if there is not enough free space to continue data logging.  There are two options: “Overwrite Old Data”, or “Stop Datalogging”. 

The first option, “Overwrite Old Data”, will begin to overwrite the oldest files when the free space goes under 10 MB.  The software will look for the oldest compressed files and it will begin to delete those files first.  The software will delete around 5 MB and then resume normal data logging.  Once the disk space gets below 10 MB again, these steps will be repeated.

The second option, “Stop Datalogging”, will stop all data logging and inform the user that data logging has stopped.  When this option is selected, the software will not log data until the disk space has been cleaned up.
