Video | Sending an OS to a Remote Datalogger
If you have a data logger that is already deployed, you can update the OS over a
telecommunications link by sending the OS to the data logger as a program. In most instances,
sending an OS as a program preserves settings. This allows for sending supported operating
systems remotely (check the release notes). However, this should be done with great caution as
updating the OS may reset the data logger settings, even settings critical to supporting the
telecommunication link.
