12. USB Datalogger module for ST 410
General Description
This optional module enables a USB FLASH memory drive to be connected to the
controller. Its main function is to write time-stamped data files to the memory drive
for datalogging. It can also read configuration and /or user-program data files into
the controller.
FLASH Memory Drive Specification
These must be type 1 or type 2 drives. Type 3 drives (with blue insulator) do not
work. The drives must be formatted as FAT32 or FAT16 (NTFS format does not
work). The module has been tested with several makes of 8G, 16G and 32 GByte
drives. Low cost Sandisk 8G and 16G FLASH drives work straight out of the
packaging. There is a "Drive mounted" indicator LED next to the USB connector
– if this illuminates then the inserted FLASH drive is acceptable.

The drive can be inserted at any time (with the controller either powered or
un-powered). It can also be removed at any time – but preferably not while the
controller is writing data to the drive. The "Drive Mounted" LED will turn off when
the drive is removed.
Real Time Clock Function
This datalogger module incorporates an accurate battery backed date and time of
day clock. It compensates for leap years. It does not automatically compensate for
daylight saving in summer and winter. This clock is used to time stamp data within
the datalogger files. It is also used to date and time stamp the actual file.
Note: The date and time stamp of the file is the time the file was last written to (not
the time when the file was first created). The (replaceable) clock battery (CR1220)
is sized to last at least 5 years.
Clock Adjustment
With the controller turned on and not firing: press and hold down the
