Additionally, there are two buttons. First one is used for read configuration from 

LOGBOX SD data logger. It is especially valuable if you have lost your configuration 
files or if you have LOGBOX SD with unknown configuration. Send Config is used to 

setup the LOGBOX SD with the currently entered and on screen displayed 

configuration.
