At the bottom of the right-hand side of the window is a summary box that
indicates the Running Program, the Run On Power Up Program, the current
Program State (running, stopped, or no program), and the last compile results.
There are several options to work with the files and directories on the
datalogger.
Send is used to transfer files from the computer to the datalogger. Clicking the
Send button brings up a standard file selection dialog box. A new file can be
chosen to send to the highlighted device.
Datalogger programs, data files, and other ASCII files can be sent to the
datalogger.
Format is used to format the selected device. Just like the formatting a disk on
a computer, all of the files on the device are deleted and the device is
initialized.
Refresh will update the list of files for the selected device.
Retrieve will get the selected file from the datalogger and store it on the
computer. A Save As dialog box comes up allowing you to specify the
directory and file name for the saved file.
File Control should not be used to retrieve data from a CF card
created using the CardOut instruction. Using File Control to
retrieve the data file can result in a corrupted data file.
NOTE
Run Options brings up a dialog box that is used to control what program will
be run in the datalogger. Highlight a file, and then select the Run Options
button. From the resulting dialog box, select the run options.
Run Now
The Run Now run options are different for the different datalogger
types.
