4.6.3.4.3 Working with Files and Directories
There are several options for working with the files and directories on the
datalogger.
Send is used to transfer files from the computer to the datalogger. Clicking the
Send button brings up a standard file selection dialog box. A new file can be
chosen and sent to the highlighted device. Datalogger programs, data files,
and other ASCII files can be sent to the datalogger.
If you select the Set Run Options on Send check box in the File Control
screen, you will have the opportunity to set the Run On Power-up and/or Run
Now options as the file is being transferred from the PC’s file system to the
selected device (see the Run Options section below).

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.
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.
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.
Run Now will stop the program currently running on the datalogger and then
load and run the selected program. During this process, all of the existing data
tables in datalogger memory are deleted. If data is also being stored to a card,
select an option button to determine whether or not the data tables created by
the program and stored on the card are to be erased or retained.
To use the Erase all card data files option when sending a program to a
CR9000X or CR5000 datalogger, you must send the program to the datalogger
first without starting it, and then select the Run Options on the program from
the File Control screen. You can then start the program and select the Erase
