Section 8. Operation
3. Optionally deletes data files stored from the overwritten (just previous)
program.
4. Formats a specified drive.
Execution of powerup.ini takes precedence during CR800 power-up. Although
powerup.ini sets file attributes for the uploaded programs, its presence on a drive
does not allow those file attributes to control the power-up process. To avoid
confusion, either remove the external drive on which powerup.ini resides or
delete the file after the power-up operation is complete.
8.8.4.4.1 Creating and Editing Powerup.ini
Powerup.ini is created with a text editor on a PC, then saved on a memory drive
of the CR800. The file is saved to the memory drive, along with the operating
system or user program file, using the datalogger support software
(p. 572) File
Control | Send
(p. 498) command.
Note Some text editors (such as MicroSoft
®
WordPad
®
) will attach
header information to the powerup.ini file causing it to abort. Check the
text of a powerup.ini file in the CR800 with the CR1000KD
Keyboard/Display to see what the CR800 actually sees.
Comments can be added to the file by preceding them with a single-quote
character ('). All text after the comment mark on the same line is ignored.
