Initializing Table Files Delay


fi May 26, 2014 10:02 AM

Hi,

When i send a basic CrBasic program with the cardout instruction or using TableFile ( CRD: ...) the nl115 led is flashing red discontinuously.
The state "Initializing Table Files" take almost 10 min.

That it shouldn't take 1 to 2 min max?

Have you ever meet this ?

Regards
Firmin

Are you using a new card? If so, it could be something to do with the way it needs to format the card the first time it is used. I read somewhere you can avoid this by saving a small file to the card on your computer, then delete the file again before you use it in your logger.

If you are using CardOut(0, -1) in your program's data tables and you have a large card (2+ gig), it takes some time for the logger to pre-allocate the space needed for the data. A 2 gig file can take 7 to 10 minutes to pre-allocate on a card. This is done to ensure that the space is taken/allocated for your data so it can't be taken by something else.
