For 64Gb cards it can be difficult to format in FAT32, but [[software >>http://auspass.edu.au/field/fat32cardformatter.exe]]is available. ANU recommend SanDisk Extreme 150 mb/s cards in either 32 or 64Gb size. We strongly discourage using cards larger than 64Gb, and in general smaller cards are less likely to fail. We have also found that "adapter" cards (e.g. SD to microSD) are prone to having write issues and **strongly** advise against them.

17 -The units can be "pre-programmed" with information (e.g. site name, sampling rate, etc) or they can be programmed on the fly. To program the cards you simply edit a text file (named "ANUSRSetup.txt" for the LPRs, or "tSAWRSetup.txt" for the TerraSAWRs) and place it in the root directory on the SDCard. When the logger boots up, it will parse and load this information.
