Data Download
This is used to extract the logged data from the data logger, using the USB interface. (you can do this
remotely, but that makes no sense, since the data logger is able to send the logged data also..
The user can select 4 different file-formats : TXT, JSON and CSV (2 different versions available).
The user must enter the starting- and ending date/time for the data he likes to extract. Y-modem transfer
is used for data transfer data transportation.
Below an example of data download is given.
Afterwards, the file is downloaded on your computer.
Format SD Card
Use this tool if you like to delete all the files on the SD card, for instance when you move the data logger
to
a new location. It uses FAT32 to format the card, and you don’t need to extract the card from the data
logger. After format the card will be blank, ready for new data storage.
Configuration Down/upload
When using multiple data loggers, the configuration of them can get labour-intensive. Especially when
multiple data loggers are performing the same tasks. To assist the user with configuring the loggers,
configuration transfer is possible. The configuration of the data logger can be retrieved via the USB or
remotely through TCP Terminal. Use YDOC-Terminal for retrieving the config from your data logger.
When you like to retrieve a configuration-
file from the data logger, select the option “configuration
download” and use Y-modem -> receive file option. Navigate to your path of preference, and the
configuration file will be downloaded to your computer. This file is a non-readable-binary file which
contains all settings of your data logger. You can store this for backup-reasons or as a template to
configure new data loggers.
When you like to configure a data logger with a configuration-file, select configuration upload from the
menu and use y-modem-> send file for sending the configuration-file to the data logger. All settings will be
applied to the logger, except the serial number (which is a static property of the data logger).
A very practical method of configuring YDOC data loggers is to use one configuration-file to configure the
data logger, and afterwards personalize the logger with a unique system name.
