The device profile will also be updated when a new program is loaded into the logger.
The Control buttons are used to start/stop the loaded program and clear the device:
Starting the Program
After loading the program it must be started by clicking the
[Start Program] button. The program will switch
from an IDLE state, to the RUNNING state. The only options then available to the User are to [Stop
Program] or [ Clear Device ].
Stopping the Program
Clicking this button will return the program back to an IDLE state.
Clearing the Device
This command clears the integer, floating point and string databases, the User / Application program and
any logged data (if applicable) in the device. It does not affect communication port speeds or modes.
It is generally only used when an installation is first commissioned or the device is being reinstated to a
completely "known" state. To clear the device, click on
[Clear Device] .
Since all logged data within the device will be lost, appropriate consideration should be given before
carrying out this command. As an added precaution, a confirmation dialog will be displayed if you click the
[Clear Device] button:
Note: The
[Clear Device] command completely strips out the device of all User loaded information and
logged data but does not affect the communication settings.
