chosen to send to the highlighted device. If the Set Run Options on Send check
box is selected, you will be asked to specify the Run Options for the file being
sent as described below under Run Options.

Datalogger programs, data files, and other ASCII files can be sent to the
datalogger.

Format is used to format the selected device. Just like the formatting a disk on
a computer, all of the files on the device are deleted and the device is
initialized.

Refresh will update the list of files for the selected device. If a change is made
via the keyboard or under program control, it will not be reflected in this
window unless the screen is refreshed.

Retrieve will get the selected file from the datalogger and store it on the
computer. A Save As dialog box comes up allowing you to specify the
directory and file name for the saved file.

File Control should not be used to retrieve data from a CF card
created using the CardOut instruction. Using File Control to
retrieve the data file can result in a corrupted data file.

NOTE

Run Options brings up a dialog box that is used to control what program will
be run in the datalogger. Highlight a file, and then select the Run Options
button. From the resulting dialog box, select the run options.

Run Now

The Run Now run options are different for the different datalogger
types.
