The computer tried to
terminate the connection
but the datalogger did
not acknowledge the
shutdown.

This is an indication that there is a
communications problem between
the computer and the datalogger.
Check the cables and connectors
and make sure the datalogger has
power.

Invalid low level signature

The packet received
from the device got
corrupted and the packet
signature doesn’t match
the packet contents.

Check to find out where in the
communications link noise or signal
corruption is causing the data to be
disrupted.

communications port has
been initialized.

link has been initialized
to transfer data packets.

Provider closed

Unable to Locate Serial synch
byte

The low level
communications
synchronization byte
was not received after
the computer sent out a
serial packet.

This indicates that the device is
either not responding or responding
with an invalid communications
protocol. This message would
appear if trying to talk to an array
based datalogger that is set up as a
table based datalogger in the
network map.
