8.2 Sending the Operating System
The CR200(X) is shipped with the operating system pre-loaded. However, OS
updates are made available at www.campbellsci.com and can be sent to the
CR200(X).
Since sending an OS to the CR200(X) resets memory, data loss will certainly
occur. Depending on several factors, the CR200(X) may also become
incapacitated for a time. Consider the following before updating the OS.
1. Is sending the OS necessary to correct a critical problem? -- If not,
consider waiting until a scheduled maintenance visit to the site.
2. Is the site conveniently accessible such that a site visit can be
undertaken to correct a problem of reset settings without excessive
expense?
If the OS must be sent, and the site is difficult or expensive to access, try the OS
download procedure on an identically programmed, more conveniently located
datalogger.
