8.8.1 Syntax
Syntax for powerup.ini is:
Command,File,Device
where,
l Command is one of the numeric commands in the following table.
l File is the accompanying operating system or user program file.
l Device is the data logger memory drive to which the accompanying operating system or
user program file is copied (usually CPU). If left blank or with an invalid option, default
device will be CPU. Use the same drive designation as the transporting external device if
the preference is to not copy the file.
WARNING:
Uploading a program, installing a data logger OS, or formatting a drive may result in data
loss. Depending on several factors, the data logger may also become incapacitated for a time.
It is recommended that you retrieve data from the data logger and back up your programs
before sending a powerup.ini file; otherwise, data may be lost. To collect data using
LoggerNet, connect to your data logger and click Collect Now . To backup your data
logger, connect to it in Device Configuration Utility, click the Backup menu and select
Backup Datalogger.
