Manually configure the logger
This section describes in more detail the steps carried out in the Configuration Wizard. For manual
configuration of the logger, it is recommended that the user carries out the following tasks in order:
Clear logger memory:
Press
‘Clear memory’
button on the main screen of the software and, if you are sure, press
‘Yes’
when
prompted.
This ensures that the new logger configuration makes use of the whole logger memory. Note that the
memory must be cleared before a new configuration is loaded. Therefore, if there are data on the
logger which are needed, exit the configuration wizard at this point, download the data, and then
return to the configuration wizard.
Set date-time:
Automatically set the date-time:
Press
‘Auto set date
-
time’
button on the main screen of the
software. This will set the logger’s time to the PC time.
Manually set the date-time:
Go to
‘Options’
then
‘Set Date and Time Manually’
. Use the drop-down
menus to set the logger’s time manually.
