Clicking

Connect puts DevConfig into Terminal emulation mode on the Serial

Port and at the Baud Rate selected.

When you click on

Identify Datalogger Type, DevConfig will attempt to

identify the type of device that is connected on the specified serial port. It will

attempt to communicate using each of the datalogger protocols (mixed-array,

table-data, and PakBus) in turn. If it fails to get any answer to any of these

attempts, the baud rate will be automatically changed and the various protocols

will be attempted again. When DevConfig recognizes the response from the

device and the device type is one of the supported types, that device type will

automatically be selected.

10.1.6 Off-line Mode

Many devices in DevConfig have an off-line mode available that allows you to

browse the device’s settings without actually being connected to a device. You

can select a device, and then select Off-line Mode from DevConfig’s File

menu. You will be able to see the device’s settings and associated help. You

can also make changes to the settings and then press Apply to bring up the

option to Save or Print the configuration. Saving the configuration will allow

you to load it into a device at a later time.
