Chapter 2 - The dataPAC
If you want to add a function to your dataPAC, you must load the program through the
security key. This program is called a software token. To add a function, you load a token.
To remove a function, you unload a token. Once a token is loaded to a dataPAC, the security
key no longer contains the token. The key cannot be used to load the token to another
dataPAC. You must first unload the token, the load it to another dataPAC. However, some
features may not be available to all dataPAC models.
Note: Before loading a security key, make sure the dataPAC displays the correct date and time.
See “Setting the Data Collector Date and Time” on page 46 if you need to change it.
Adding a Feature with a Security Key
To add or enable a function, you must load a software token to your dataPAC. To do so,
follow these steps.
1.
Turn the data collector off by pressing <SHIFT><ON/OFF>.
2.
Open the memory card door at the top of the instrument.
3.
Insert the security key onto the security key pins located next to the memory card. It
should fit only one way. While the key is in, you have to leave the memory card door
open.
4.
Turn the data collector on by pressing <ON/OFF>. This action transfers the token from
the key to the dataPAC.
5.
With the dataPAC on, remove the security key and close the memory card door. The
software token is now activated.
Disabling or Transferring a Function
You may want to disable a function on your dataPAC or transfer that function to another
data collector. To accomplish this you must transfer the software token from the data
collector back to the security key. To do so, follow these steps.
1.
Turn the data collector on by pressing <ON/OFF>.
2.
Open the memory card door at the top of the instrument.
3.
Insert the security key onto the security key pins located next to the memory card. It
should fit only one way. While the key is in, you have to leave the memory card open.
4.
Turn the data collector off by pressing <SHIFT><ON/OFF>. This action transfers the
token back to the security key.
5.
Remove the security key from the socket and close the memory card door.
