DataCORDER Configuration Software
The configuration software controls the recording and alarm functions of the DataCORDER. Reprogramming to the
factory-installed configuration is achieved via the USB flash drive menu with a flash drive installed. An ML5 soft
-
ware file or a compatible configuration database file must be on the USB flash drive in order to gain access to the
menu.
Displaying DataCORDER Configuration Variables
1. Press the ALT. MODE key on the keypad.
2. Use the Arrow keys until “dCF” is displayed.
3. Press the ENTER key.
4. Press an Arrow key until the left window displays the desired variable number. The right window will display
the value of this item for five seconds before returning to the normal display mode. If a longer display time is
desired, press the ENTER key to extend the display time to 30 seconds.
A list of the configuration variables is provided in
. Descriptions of DataCORDER operation for each vari

able setting are provided in the following paragraphs.
4.6.4
Sensor Configuration (dCF02)
Two modes of operation may be configured, the Standard Mode and the Generic Mode.
Standard Mode
In the Standard Mode, the user may configure the DataCORDER to record data using one of seven standard config
-
urations. The seven standard configuration variables, with their descriptions, are listed in
The inputs of the six thermistors (supply, return, USDA #1, USDA #2, USDA #3 and cargo probe) and the humidity
sensor input will be generated by the DataCORDER.
NOTE
The DataCORDER software uses the supply and return recorder sensors (SRS, RRS). The tempera
-
ture control software uses the supply and return temperature sensors (STS, RTS).
