The Energy Platform treats the Compact Flash card like a hard disk storing files in DOS 

format. For successful card data transfer, keep the following points in mind:

• Compact Flash cards allow users to store multiple files in one card. The Site name 

will be used as the filename for record files (i.e. if the site name is Energy Platform 

Site, the filename will be Energy Platform Site 00.DDB). A number is automatically 

appended to the name such that filenames are automatically incremented every time 

the user starts monitoring with that same filename.

• Energy Platform does not support file fragmentation. When creating a file, it will 

take the largest contiguous block and use that size block for data storage. Deleting 

files from the memory card is NOT RECOMMENDED. When there is no more 

space available to begin new data storage, reformat the card using the Energy 

Platform, after transferring data files to a computer.
