of a CR200 series datalogger program download:
1. Use a File Control command to stop the running program and delete
associated files to make room for the new program
2. Use File Download to send the new program to the datalogger
3. Use a File Control command to compile and run the new program
4. Use Get Programming Statistics to obtain the compile results
