CFM100 CompactFlash®Module
1. Introduction
Campbell Scientific’s CFM100 CompactFlash®Module stores the datalogger’s
data on a removable CompactFlash (CF) card. The CFM100 module connects
to the datalogger via the 40-pin peripheral port. Currently, only our CR1000
and CR3000 dataloggers have the 40-pin peripheral port; the CFM100 is not
compatible with the CR200-series, CR800, CR850, CR5000, and CR9000X
dataloggers.
Before using the CFM100, please study:
•Section 2, Cautionary Statements
•Section 3, Initial Inspection
•Section 4, Quickstart
The Quickstart explains how to quickly begin using a CFM100 for
straightforward data storage operations. The remainder of the manual is a
technical reference which describes in detail such operations as: file formats,
datalogger programming and data retrieval.
2. Cautionary Statements
•The CFM100 is rugged, but it should be handled as a precision scientific
instrument. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the module.
•The 28033 surge suppressor and/or a shielded 10baseT Ethernet cable
should be used for locations susceptible to power surges and for cable
length longer than 9 ft.
•Always power down the datalogger before installing or removing the
CFM100 to/from the datalogger.
•Removing a CompactFlash card while it is active can cause garbled data
and can actually damage the card. Always press the control button and
wait for a green light before removing card.
•LoggerNet’s File Control should not be used to retrieve data from a
CompactFlash card. Using File Control to retrieve the data can result in a
corrupted data file.
3. Initial Inspection
Upon receipt of the CFM100, inspect the packaging and contents for damage.
File damage claims with the shipping company.

CFM100 CompactFlash®Module
4 Quickstart
This section describes the basics of storing and retrieving datalogger data.
These operations are discussed in detail in Section 7, Operation of this manual.
4.1 Preparation
Always power down the datalogger before installing or
removing the CFM100 to/from the datalogger.
CAUTION
After powering down the datalogger, plug the CFM100 into the datalogger
peripheral port. Restore power to the datalogger. Insert formatted CF card.
(For instructions on formatting a CF card, see Appendix A.)
4.2 Programming the Datalogger to Send Data to the CFM100
The CardOut() instruction is used in the datalogger program to send data to
the CF card. The CardOut() instruction must be entered within each
DataTable() declaration that is to store data to the CF card. The file is saved
to the card with the name stationname.tablename and a .DAT extension.
The CardOut() instruction has the following parameters:
StopRing: A constant is entered for the StopRing parameter to specify whether
the DataTable() created should be a Ring Mode table (0) or a Fill and Stop
table (1).
Size: The Size parameter is the minimum number of records that will be
included in the DataTable(). If –1000 is entered, the size of the file on the card
will be the same as the size of the internal table on the datalogger. If any other
negative number is entered, the memory that remains after creating any fixed-
size tables on the card will be allocated to this table. If multiple DataTables are
set to a negative number, the remaining memory will be divided among them.
The datalogger attempts to size the tables so that all of them will be full at the
same time
In the following example, the minimum batt_voltage and a sample of PTemp is
written to the card each time the data table is called. The StopRing parameter
is 0 for ring mode. This means that once the data table is full, new data will
begin overwriting old data. The size parameter is –1, so all available space on
the card will be allocated to the table.
DataTable(Table1,1,-1)
CardOut(0,-1)
Minimum(1,batt_volt,FP2,0,False)
Sample(1,PTemp,IEEE4)
EndTable

CFM100 CompactFlash®Module
To prevent losing data, collect data from the CF card
before sending the datalogger a new or modified program.
When a program is sent to the datalogger using the Send
button in the Connect screen of LoggerNet or PC400, an
attribute is sent along with the program that commands the
datalogger to erase all data on the CF card from the
currently running program.
CAUTION
4.3 Data Retrieval
Data stored on cards can be retrieved through a communication link to the
datalogger or by removing the card and carrying it to a computer with a CF
adapter. With large files, transferring the CF card to a computer may be faster
than collecting the data over a communication link. Data retrieval is discussed
in detail in Section 7.3, Data Retrieval.
Removing a card while it is active can cause garbled data
and can actually damage the card. Always press the
control button and wait for a green light before removing
card.
CAUTION
LoggerNet’s File Control should not be used to retrieve
data from a CompactFlash card. Using File Control to
retrieve the data can result in a corrupted data file.
CAUTION
5. Overview
The CFM100 connects to a datalogger’s peripheral port and has a slot for a
Type I or Type II CompactFlash (CF) card (3.3 V, 75 mA). The CFM100/CF
card combination can be used to expand the datalogger’s memory, transport
data/programs from the field site(s) to the office, upload datalogger power up
functions, and store JPEG images from the CC640 camera. Data stored on
cards can be retrieved through a communication link to the datalogger or by
removing the card and carrying it to a computer. The computer can read the
CF card either with the CF1 adapter or 17752 Reader/Writer. The CF1 adapter
allows the PC’s PCMCIA card slot to read the CF card; the 17752
Reader/Writer allows the PC’s USB port to read the CF card. User-supplied
CF adapters may also be used.
LoggerNet’s File Control should not be used to retrieve
data from a CompactFlash card. Using File Control to
retrieve the data can result in a corrupted data file.

FIGURE 5-1. CompactFlash Module
5.1 LEDs/Buttons
There is one red-green-orange LED (light emitting diode) and two buttons:
control and eject. The LED indicates the status of the module. The LED will
flash red when the CF card is being accessed, solid green when it is OK to
remove the card, solid orange to indicate an error, and flashing orange if the
card has been removed and has been out long enough that CPU memory has
wrapped and data is being overwritten without being stored to the card. The
control button must be pressed before removing a card to allow the datalogger
to store any buffered data to the card and then power it off.
The CFM100 will consume more current if a Status LED is
continuously on. When a red or green LED is continuously on,
add 1 mA to the power consumption. When an orange LED is
continuously on, add 2 mA to the power consumption.
NOTE
5.2 Power
5.2.1 Primary Power
The CompactFlash module is powered by 12 VDC received from the
datalogger through the peripheral port.
