FileControl Response
All output formats contain the following parameters. Any action (for example, 9)
that performs a reset, the response is returned before the effects of the command
are complete.
Table 99. FileControl API Command Response
outcome
A response of zero indicates success. Non-zero indicates failure.
holdoff
Specifies the number of seconds that the web client should wait
before attempting more communication with the station. A value
of zero will indicate that communication can resume
immediately. This parameter is needed because many of the
commands will cause the CR800 to perform a reset. In the case
of sending an operating system, it can take tens of seconds for
the datalogger to copy the image from memory into flash and to
perform the checking required for loading a new operating
system. While this reset is under way, the CR800 will be
unresponsive.
