What is required for a Main SD card replacement?
If the main SD card fails in an X2 data logger, a NexSens technician will provide two folders that must be installed on a replacement card. Replacement SD cards can be sourced independently or purchased directly through NexSens’ U.S. distributor, Fondriest Environmental.
The X2 requires a 256 MB industrial-grade SLC SD card. Consumer-grade SD cards are not recommended, as they do not provide the durability or performance needed for continuous environmental data logging.
- Scripts folder
- The scripts folder contains all the pre-generated scripts for standard environmental sensors. Only a few of these scripts are enabled to run by default, so it is imperative to enable the proper scripts once the card is installed.
- SYSCONF folder
- The SYSCONF folder contains the sensor and parameter library recognized by the X2 data logger and the WQData LIVE web datacenter.
Note: Once uploading the proper files, right-click the SD card drive and select ‘Eject’ to remove the card properly from the PC.
