4.3.1.5 Firmware
The “Firmware” box will show the firmware version of the uDL2 that was last read.
4.3.1.6 Serial#
The “Serial#” box will show the electronic serial number of the uDL2 that was last read.
4.3.1.7 Read/Write Config File
The “Write Config To File” button may be used to store a copy of the current configuration to a file on the PC. The
configuration may be retrieved by using the “Read Config From File” button. After loading the configuration from a
file, it must still be written to the uDL2 before the changes become effective.
4.3.1.8 Set uDL2 Clock
The “Set uDL2 Clock” is used to set the clock of the uDL2 from the PC clock. Note that in GPS equipped units, the
uDL2 clock will automatically be set from the GPS receiver as soon as a valid GPS time fix is detected.
If the GPS receiver is disabled in the configuration, the uDL2 clock should be set at least once before data acquisition
is attempted. Beyond that, the clock should be updated periodically to resynchronize the clock to actual time. The
internal clock of the uDL2 model can be expected to drift as much as +/-10s each month without GPS synchronization.
The uDL2 will maintain the real time clock as long as the battery is not fully depleted.
4.3.1.9 Read Faults
The “Read Faults” button is used to read out any faults that might be present within the uDL2. The information present
in this box should be sent to Mobiltex for analysis when faults are encountered. A history of faults and their associated
time stamps is maintained. To clear the fault history, click the “Clear Fault History” button.

Detailed Status
The “Detailed Status” button causes a pop-up window to appear. The window includes detailed information about
several items used by the uDL2.
The GPS Status information may be used to diagnose GPS satellite signal reception issues that may prevent time lock
from occurring. Ideally, more than 3 satellites should be in the fix for a reliable lock.
