ODAS5IR v3.5 Instrument Software
If you are operating the older ODAS5IR v3.5 instrument software please follow the steps below to format the CF card:
To reformat your CF Card, you must be using a Windows computer.
  1. Connect your VMP to your PC using Motocross
  2. Download all data files you want to keep
  3. Reformat your c directory: >> format c:
  4. Create the data directory: >> mkdir data
  5. Transfer ODAS5IR executable.  Using the ’Transfer’ option:
    1. Transfer > Load odas5ir.RUN
    2. Type >> s odas5ir
  6. Transfer USBL executable.  Using the ’Transfer’ option:
    1. Transfer > Load usbl.RUN
    2. Type >> s usbl
  7. Transfer the non-executable file, setup.cfg and autoexec.bat
    1. Transfer > Load setup.cfg
    2. Transfer > Load autoexec.bat
We recommend typing dir between each setup to ensure that the previous step has been executed correctly.
Once you have reformatted your CF card, run a short bench test and ensure that you are acquiring data correctly and you are able to process the resulting p-file.
