Chapter 2 Configuring the Dynamic 2500 Data Collector
Restarting the Data
Collector You should restart the Dynamix 2500 data collector if the instrument locks up
and does not respond to any key presses including the On/Off key.
When you need to reset the data collector you can perform a hard or soft reset. A
hard reset resets the defaults vales of the date, time, and time zone. A soft reset
keeps the current values. A reset does not delete data or Routes.
Perform Soft Restart
When doing a soft restart, all files and programs present in memory remain in
memory following the restart.
With the data collector on, simultaneously hold down the 2, 7, 8, and 9 keys for
about a second. The data collector restarts and the Main Screen appears.
Perform Hard Restart
A hardware reset lets you to reconfigure the Dynamix 2500 data collector back to
the factory default setup. Programs or data files stored in RAM are cleared, but
any programs or files stored in internal memory and any registry changes will be
maintained.
The reset switch is located behind the battery access panel on the underside of the
instrument. The reset switch can only by pressed using a 1/16- in diameter pin or
a straightened paper clip.
TIP Most of the time, a soft restart will reset any anomalies you are having
with the data collector.
