•
Replace the line “MEMORY: code?” with “MEMORY: xxxxx”
where xxxxx is the 5 digit code specific to your data logger.
For example if your code is 01234, type:
•
“MEMORY: 01234”
•
Save the file to activate the code: the red LED of the data
logger will quickly flash for a few seconds and the data logger
will restart. (The LED is located near the USB plug behind the
transparent window cap).
•
Close and and reopen the file CONTROL.TXT. Now, if the
code was correct, it will read: “Memory: 00000” indicating that
the memory is blank and the device ready.
Programming: Adjust Time, Date, Scan Rate
•
Each time the data logger is connected to a USB socket and
CONTROL.TXT is read by the computer operating system:
the data logger reads its memory, registers and sensor and
changes the information contained in CONTROL.TXT. Please
NOTE: we have found that after the data logger has been
connected to a USB socket, all the different operating systems
(we have tested) read the file just ONCE.
•
CONTROL TEXT IS CASE SENSITIVE! Use the indicated
characters. Do not change low case with High case one and
viceversa.
•
Open CONTROL.TXT and edit the scan rate, current time,
and starting time; do not change position and length of the
fields; for example: “DATE:
18Y/01M/01D Mo
” must not be
changed in “DATE: 18Y/1M/1D Mo”
•
Possible scan rates are: @ms, 01s 10s, 01m, 10m, 01h, 01d,
(00s means stop)
•
Save the file, the data logger LED will blink.
•
If the data logger LED did not blink the file was not really
saved, but it is just temporarily stored in the computer cache.
This behaviour depends on the operating system. Windows
and Ubuntu immediately save the file but some other
operating systems or older versions may require you to
unmount the device or go through the process of “Safely
remove the device”.
