8.2  Sending the Operating System 
The CR200(X) is shipped with the operating system pre-loaded. However, OS 
updates are made available at www.campbellsci.com and can be sent to the 
CR200(X). 
Since sending an OS to the CR200(X) resets memory, data loss will certainly 
occur.  Depending on several factors, the CR200(X) may also become 
incapacitated for a time.  Consider the following before updating the OS. 
1.  Is sending the OS necessary to correct a critical problem? -- If not, 
consider waiting until a scheduled maintenance visit to the site. 
2.  Is the site conveniently accessible such that a site visit can be 
undertaken to correct a problem of reset settings without excessive 
expense? 
If the OS must be sent, and the site is difficult or expensive to access, try the OS 
download procedure on an identically programmed, more conveniently located 
datalogger.

existing data and reset all settings to factory defaults.
