Update the DT800 with your modified program.
➲
Send your program to the DT800.
To do this…
a) In the Program menu, choose
Send to Connection
.
b) In the “Warning — Job already defined…” dialog
box that opens, click
Yes
.
The Send Program File dialog box opens to inform
you of the progress. Also, if you’ve got Show Error
Alerts ticked (on the View menu), the Event Logs
dialog box may open to report (in the Errors tab) the
event that has just occurred — see the Extras panel
“Event Logs” on page 37.
c) Close the Event Logs dialog box if it’s in your way.
You can open it at any time by choosing
View
Events
in the View menu.
d) Notice that the Acquiring LED now flashes every 5
seconds (in addition to the three-second heartbeat
flash). And, because Logging is still ticked in
schedule A of the program, the Logging LED also
flashes briefly every 5 seconds.
e) Use the
Status
command to confirm that the DT800
is running the new schedule.
You did this before in “Verify the Connection” on
page 20.

Information from the potentiometer channel no longer
updates in the form, chart and mimic windows
because you changed this channel’s channel ID when
you added the
Potentiometer
Label” on page 55.
Row 1 in the form window, the chart window, and
your first meter in the mimic window are still assigned
to the original channel ID, which no longer exists. (In
DeLogger’s channel drop-down lists, its name used to
end with
1R
; now it ends with
Potentiometer
.)
➲
Reassign row 1 in the form window to the
modified (labelled) potentiometer channel.
To do this…
a) Make sure that the form window is in Edit Mode.
b)
Double
-click in the
Channel
column of row
1
.
c) In the Select Channel for Row 1 dialog box that
opens, highlight the potentiometer channel — its
channel ID is now
Potentiometer
(instead of
1R
) —
and click
OK
.
d) Turn Edit Mode
off
for the form window.
You’ll now see information in the form window
being updated every 5 seconds (schedule A’s new
rate).
➲
Carry out a similar procedure to reassign
the chart window and your meter to the
modified potentiometer channel.
To do this…
a) Put each window into Edit Mode.
b) For the chart window, use
Chart
menu >
Select
Channels…
and choose the channel ending in
Potentiometer
.
c) In the mimic window, select your first meter, then use
Mimic
menu >
Edit Panel…
and choose the channel
ending in
Potentiometer
.
d) Turn Edit Mode
off
for each of the three windows
(form, chart and mimic) and check that the three
views of the potentiometer channel now update
according to your revised program (that is, every 5
seconds).
