Technical Description
13 Storing Data on an MMC/SD Card
The Sunny Remote Control 1 can save firmware, parameters and measuring data on a multimedia
card (MMC/SD card). The card must be FAT16 formatted and can have a maximum capacity of
2 GB (possible memory capacities are 32/64/128/256/512 MB as well as 1 GB and 2 GB). File
names are saved in 8.3 format and files with other names are ignored.
If you have inserted the MMC/SD card in your card reader on your PC, you can (when using
WINDOWS) search for the corresponding drive in Explorer. The following data are on this drive (in
this case: E:):
Format example
A valid 8.3 format is "M1LOG.DAT", for example.
8.3 is the "old" MS-DOS format with a file name that has a maximum of 8 characters before
and 3 characters after the dot.
Type of memory card
SMA Solar Technology AG recommends using MMC/SD cards made by Transcend.
If you use a memory card from another manufacturer, check whether the card is FAT16-
formatted. If necessary, format the card. Note that this causes any data already stored on
the card to be lost.
