Section 10. Utilities
Clicking Connect puts DevConfig into Terminal emulation mode on the Serial
Port and at the Baud Rate selected.
When you click on Identify Datalogger Type, DevConfig will attempt to
identify the type of device that is connected on the specified serial port. It will
attempt to communicate using each of the datalogger protocols (mixed-array,
table-data, and PakBus) in turn. If it fails to get any answer to any of these
attempts, the baud rate will be automatically changed and the various protocols
will be attempted again. When DevConfig recognizes the response from the
device and the device type is one of the supported types, that device type will
automatically be selected.
10.3.6 Off-line Mode
Many devices in DevConfig have an off-line mode available that allows you to
browse the device’s settings without actually being connected to a device. You
can select a device, and then select Off-line Mode from DevConfig’s File
menu. You will be able to see the device’s settings and associated help. You
can also make changes to the settings and then press Apply to bring up the
option to Save or Print the configuration. Saving the configuration will allow
you to load it into a device at a later time.
