3.2 CONFIGURATION
The Data Logger Control Panel is the primary interface for setting up and
operating the Models DL913 and DL914.
Setup tasks include the following:
■
Connecting the instrument to the computer
■
Setting the instrument date and time
■
Selecting parameters, like the aggregation period and communication options
■
Scheduling, starting, and stopping recordings
■
Transferring recorded data from the instrument to the computer
■
Erasing the instrument’s memory
All configuration tasks are described in the help system that comes with the
Data Logger Control Panel software. See § 5 for instructions on installing the
Data Logger Control Panel.
In addition, a limited number of settings can be configured via the instrument’s
front panel interface. These include the following:
■
Enabling Wi-Fi (via direct connection or router)
■
Selecting the nominal current and the number of sensor wraps (turns)
■
Selecting the aggregation period
■
Selecting the recording mode

is highlighted. There are two situations that prevent you from making
changes in Configuration mode:
■

■
A recording session is in progress or scheduled
If either situation applies, you will not be able to enter Configuration mode and
LOCKED will appear on the LCD display when you select the
icon.
