A.2 Sending an operating system to a
remote data logger
If you have a data logger that is already deployed, you can update the OS over a
telecommunications link by sending the OS to the data logger 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 data logger settings, even settings critical to supporting the
telecommunication link.
The
default.CR1X
program can be edited to preserve critical data logger settings such as
communications settings.
