The maximum message file length including the 16 character header must be no greater than
3500 characters. If the file length is larger than this, it can be reduced in length by editing it to
remove comment lines and blank lines, or use XTERM DOS Version for larger files. (XTERM
DOS can be obtained MRC upon request.) When an MRC-565 with a device driver assigned to
the CR10X receives the message in this format it will be sent to the CR10X, compiled, and begin
executing. A status message will be returned to the unit that originated the download message
indicating whether the compilation was successful.
If the program is different than the previous program, the memory in the final storage area will
be deleted, otherwise it will be left untouched. Refer to the Campbell Scientific documentation
for details on exactly when the data is deleted or not.
5.7.16 Replacing an MRC-565 to an Operational CR10X
When an MRC-565 is connected to a CR10X that has been previously collecting data, the data
pointers in the MRC-565 must be set to the current data point in the CR10X. If this is not done,
the MRC-565 pointers will begin retrieving data from location 1 in the data logger. If this is not
done then the data retrieved will either be all the data collected since installation or the data at
the time the cR10X memory last filled and rolled back to re-use memory from location 1.
