DTA128B

The Optic Shuttle has a 128K capacity. This is enough memory to store 16 full 8K loggers, or 4 full 32K loggers. If the Shuttle does not have enough memory available to store a datafile, the fail light will flash and the attached logger will not be re-launched.

There are two common reasons for data loss:

1. Relaunching a logger before the data has been saved
2. Technical problem with the logger itself.

The following section discusses data loss and its causes; it also discusses methods of retrieving lost data, and how to insure against data-loss problems.

If possible, remove the board from the case and the battery from the board. Dry the board completely using a hair dryer. If the board was exposed to salt water, rinse the board with fresh water and then dry the board. You may try inserting a new battery and downloading the data. If you are unable to access the data, or see any sign of corrosion or tarnishing on the board, contact the place of purchase for a return number. The data may be retrievable, and the logger may be repairable. Charges will apply and are dependent on the amount of damage.
