Preparing the module for the Date Time CAN Message
The module must be put in “Test Mode” in order for it to process the Date Time CAN Message using the
following steps:
1.
Power the unit off.
2.
Hold the User Action button and power the unit on.
3.
Hold the User Action button for at least three seconds. The module indicates that it’s in test
mode when all the lights are orange. The lights will remain orange for three seconds.
4.
The module is ready for the Date Time CAN message when the lights begin alternating colors.
5.
Send the Date Time CAN Message. The unit will respond with a 0x201 and the data reflects the
modules date and time.
6.
Power the unit off.
7.
The date and time have been set.
Upgrading Firmware
The unit’s firmware can be updated using an SD Card. Follow these easy steps:
1.
Obtain the latest firmware from our website or the Reseller Package (currently
DataLogger_Version_1.020.zip).
2.
Unzip the contents to a folder of your choice.
3.
Copy the file with that contains B4.1 (currently DataLogger_DataLoggerRevB4.1.bin) to an SD
card.
4.
Rename the file on the SD card to Firmware.bin
5.
Make sure the logger is powered off and insert the SD card into the logger.
6.
Turn power on – you will see the State-of-Health pin turn solid green for a short moment. It will
then change to blinking green when the new application is loaded.
7.
Test by logging data and observing the version number in the log file.
