Site Name/Memory Card

The Energy Platform uses the Compact Flash data card as primary storage for data. It 

automatically saves data in the card when monitoring is on. The Compact Flash card 

must be loaded in the data card slot in order to record data.

The Energy Platform supports Compact Flash data card with part number CFDATA-

DB which at minimum has a usable memory space of 4GB. Note that the actual card 

size is displayed in the unit’s memory card format screen. 

NOTE: Dranetz-BMI Compact Flash data cards have been tested to work properly with 

the Energy Platform. Non-Dranetz-BMI Compact Flash cards may not be compatible 

with the instrument and cannot be supported by Dranetz-BMI Customer Service in case 

problems arise. Users are advised to use only Dranetz-BMI parts and accessories. See 

Appendix A Optional Accessories for Compact Flash cards supplied by Dranetz-BMI.

The following files are created on the data card: filename.set for setups template and 
filename

.ddb for saved events. The maximum allowable length for a site/file name is 32 

characters.

Before monitoring begins, the Site Name/Memory Card screen is displayed. The screen 

reports the current operational status of the data card. 

The following messages may appear in the data card status line.
