What is the advantage of the YESDAS-2 PCMCIA memory card option?
The PCMCIA memory card option actually provides three key enhancements for the YESDAS-2: 1. It greatly expands the system memory (either 1 or 2 Mb) , providing you with 1-2 months of capacity assuming a sampling rate of 1 set per minute. This permits you to take non-averaged data (which you can average together later on your local computer). 2. It has its own battery backup that protects your data, even during a prolonged system shutdown. 3. Since it is a PCMCIA type-I card, it permits hot-swapping during operation. An untrained user can swap the card with an empty one to permit you to retrieve data from remote systems that are not on phone lines.
