15.1 Sending a program to the data logger
TIP:
It is good practice to always retrieve data from the data logger before sending a program;
otherwise, data may be lost. See Collecting data(p. 77) for detailed instruction.
Some methods of sending a program give the option to retain data when possible. Regardless of
the program upload tool used, data will be erased when a new program is sent if any change
occurs to one or more data table structures in the following list:
l
Data table name(s)
l
Data output interval or offset
l
Number of fields per record
l
Number of bytes per field
l
Field type, size, name, or position
l
Number of records in table
