USE OF MOBILE FLASH-CARD STORAGES IN MEASUREMENT DEVICES AND SMALL AUTOMATION SYSTEMS
Anton Scheibelmasser, Udo Traussnigg
Abstract:
Mobile Flash-Cards in different technologies and formats are well suited to act as an exchangeable non volatile mass storage for data or program code in measurement devices and small automation systems. Due to the use in the fields of digital photography and multimedia applications, flash cards have been introduced into the market and are available in a standardized and compact way. Because of their mobile characteristics, their solid-state design, security features and an easy handling, they are an appropriate storage medium in measurement data acquisition, but furthermore in the field of service and maintenance. This article is supposed to give an overview of the available storage media on the market as well as several ideas for the use in the field of measurement device instrumentation. In addition, the characteristics of the several flash cards are discussed, possible advantages and restrictions are compared.
