Read Config. When the Read Config button is clicked, the software updates all the
fields on the Configure MDL window with the configuration information stored in the
MDL. The action is identical to that which occurs when you first enter the Configure
MDL window. This option can be used to read a new MDL’s configuration without
having to exit the Configure MDL window. This allows multiple loggers to be
configured more quickly.
Send Config. Clicking the Send Config button will send the configuration information,
shown in the Configure MDL window, to the MDL. This must be done before the MDL
can be used to collect data.
Save Config. The current configuration can be saved in a file on the host computer.
Clicking the Save Config button will open a file dialog box that will allow the user to
input a file name for the configuration file. The extension for the configuration file is
*.CFG.
Saving a configuration is useful if a particular configuration will be used frequently.
Use the Save Config Button Command to store all of the configuration information
used for that deployment. The configuration file can be reused by selecting Use
Existing Config from the File menu.
Print Configuration. The current logger configuration information can be printed by
clicking the Print Config button to provide a hard copy record of the current MDL
configuration.
Configuration files are saved while in the Configure MDL screen. The command File–
Print Configuration File sends a MicroDataLogger configuration file to the printer.
First, the file dialog box Print a Configuration File is displayed. Select the
MicroDataLogger configuration file to print. Click OK to print. This option is useful for
documenting your monitoring setups. View the MDL-DataManager Help topic
Example Configuration File to see the contents of a configuration file report.
Close. Closes the configuration screen.
