 Handling the mulitple-device systems

With data backup system applied in RSLogger it’s possible to handle several different RSLogger devices with

one common USB Mass Storage. It’s handy and intuitive as every single RSLogger will create it’s own folder, named
with unique serial number and filled with it’s unique configuration, password, data and MEMORY.MAP files.

You can take the USB Mass Storage and have a walk from one RSLogger unit to another (when planted in your
project) to collect the data to common USB Mass Storage device for further analysis.

 Firmware update

RSLogger offers the firmware update option allowing to update the current firmware to any new released

version. The firmware update is protected with several security features to avoid wrong firmware uploading or device
disabling if update procedure has not been accomplished successfully (for example due to the power failure). The re
are three ways for firmware update and two of them are available for the end-users:

Update with USB Mass Storage: simply store the firmware file on the USB Mass Storage device used for data
download (password labeled) and connect it to the RSLogger device. If the FIRMWARE.BIN file has been
found on the connected USB mass storage drive and the firmware file format is supported for this particular
RSLogger   model,   it   would   be   flashed   into   the   internal   memory.  The   firmware   file   would   be   renamed   to
FIRMWARE.BAK and left on the USB Mass Storage device as a proof of firmware update. RSLogger will
restart automatically to finish the update procedure and run new firmware.

Update   with   Ethernet   connection:   for   devices   equipped   with   Ethernet   interface   there   is   a   special   Menu
(Firmware Backup) option on the WWW maintenance page allowing to remotely update the firmware version
by browsing the firmware file on the local PC, just by clicking from the Web browser level.
