8.7.2 Sending an operating system to a remote
datalogger
If you have a datalogger that is already deployed, you can update the OS over a
telecommunications link by sending the OS to the datalogger as a program. In most instances,
sending an OS as a program preserves settings. This allows for sending supported operating
systems remotely (check the release notes). However, this should be done with great caution as
updating the OS may reset the datalogger settings, even settings critical to supporting the
telecommunication link.
