Using the secure digital memory (SD) card
An SD card must be installed in the controller.
• The SD card can be used to update software and firmware and to download event and data logs. If
the SD card is installed while the controller is in the main menu, push the home key and then the
menu key to verify the option is visible. The SD icon will also be visible in the upper status bar of
the main measurement screen when a card is installed.
• Data log files on the SD card are available in XML and binary formats.
• DataCom is used to convert files from binary to CSV format. Refer to the DataCom manual for
more information on how to use the application. For a copy of the DataCom manual, software
updates or other downloadable resources, go to
or
and search DataCom.
Updating software
Notes:
• The controller does not automatically transfer information to or from an SD card.
• When the SD card is put in multiple controllers, each controller has a separate set of folders in the
SD card memory. To make sure software updates are in the correct folder for the controller in use,
it is best to use a separate dedicated SD card for each controller.
1. Push the menu key and select SD CARD SETUP.
2. Select UPGRADE SOFTWARE and push the enter key.
Note: If the UPGRADE SOFTWARE option does not appear, perform the steps in
on page 26.
3. Select a device from the list and push the enter key. The list of options includes the controller and
all connected devices that have software placed in the appropriate folder on the SD card.
4. If more than one version of the upgrade software is available, select the version with the highest
number and push the enter key.
5. Push the enter key to begin the software transfer. The display will show "TRANSFERRING
FILES. PLEASE WAIT..." The percentage of completion appears in the bottom left corner of the
display. The upgrade cannot be halted once it has begun.
• When the transfer is successful, the display will show "TRANSFER COMPLETE" along with a
prompt to push enter to restart the controller or to push the back key and exit to the SD CARD
SETUP menu. Controller updates take effect when the controller is restarted. A restart is not
necessary for sensor updates.
• If the transfer is unsuccessful, the display will show "TRANSFER FAILED" and an error
message. Push the enter key to acknowledge the warning and exit out of the menu. Error
messages are different for each sensor. Refer to the applicable sensor manual.
Save data and event logs with SD cards
Notes:
• Data and event logs can be downloaded to an SD card and viewed with any device capable of
reading an SD card.
• Data logs store the measurement data at selected intervals in a packed binary format (.flg file).
• Event logs store a variety of events that occur on the devices such as configuration changes,
alarms, and warning conditions. Event logs are set up during the sensor or module configuration
process. Event logs are stored in a CSV format.
1. Push the menu key and select SD CARD SETUP>SAVE LOGS.
2. If more than one device appears on the screen, all devices are selected by default. To deselect
an item, highlight the selection and push the left arrow key. Select the devices from which logs
will be saved and push the enter key.
