First, select the desired option, and then touch the Browse button to the right of
the File field to choose the file to be sent or to enter a name for the retrieved

If you want to copy a DLD file to the Allegro CE so it can be transferred to the
datalogger, make sure the DLD is stored in the Allegro CE’s Working
Directory folder on the PC. The next time you synchronize with the Allegro
CE, the file will be copied.
If you retrieve a DLD file from the datalogger, the next time you synchronize
with the Allegro CE, the file will be uploaded to the Working Directory for the
device.
4.3 Viewing Data on the Allegro CE
Once data is collected onto your Allegro CE, you can view it in a comma-
separated or tabular format. You can also graph the values for one data point at
a time.
From the Station window, press the letter D to open a window that displays all
of the data files on the Allegro CE. To view a data file, simply highlight the
filename. The data files are given a BDF extension on the Allegro CE, since
they are stored in binary format to conserve memory. They will be converted to
comma-separated ASCII format during the synchronization process.
When the data file is opened, it will be displayed in a tabular format. To view
the data in a comma-separated format, touch the button as indicated in the
graphic below. If there are multiple output arrays stored in the data file, you can
view the data from a single array by touching the arrow beside the word All and
selecting the array ID from the drop down list.
