DOCUMENT NAME

On the top of this page are several tool bar options. Briefly their functions are as follows:

 
Upgrading firmware on the logger can be done through the Bluetooth interface. Newer versions of the software for each 
type of device is embedded into the Cloudworks software so will not need an internet connection to collect the data.

When in Command Mode, press the 'Upgrade Firmware' button. The first thing the software  will do is to determine  the 
current firmware version on the logger and see if there is an upgrade available. Should the firmware be up to date, you will 

be prompted as such and given an option to re
you would like to try again.

multiple times from this screen.  

Used  to  switch  between the  Command Mode and  the  Connected  to  server

go to sleep rather than connect to the server. 

When  in  Command  Mode,  pressing  this  button  will  get  the  software  to  go 
and read all the configuration data from the logger and display it on the right 
hand side of the screen. 

When in Command Mode, pressing this button will send a command to clear 
the onboard datalog. 

Forces the logger to wake up and connect to the server. This will also force a
