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.

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.
