1. Before connecting the MRC-565 data cable to the CR10X, enter the
CR10X,INTERVAL,OFF and CR10X,MAXQ,1 commands to disable the automatic data
acquisition.
2. Connect the MRC-565 data cable to the CR10X, then enter the CR10X,STAT command to
read the current pointer from the CR10X.

This report will show the MRC-565 pointer (DPTR:) and the current and maximum CR10X
pointer. It also shows the start and end dates for the data set in the CR10X. Note that it does
not contain the year when the data was acquired. This is why we position the pointers using
the actual pointers, rather than the data report date.
3. Enter the CR10X,SETPTR,xxxxxx command to set the pointer in the MRC-565 and the
CR10X to the desired point Enter the CR10X,STAT command again to verify the pointers.
4. Return the Interval and Maxq settings to the desired values to begin automatic reporting, e.g.
CR10X,INTERVAL,60 and CR10X,MAXQ,200.
5. If it is necessary to recover data from the CR10X and automatically transmit it to the Host,
follow the instructions in the following section.
5.7.17 Replaying Data from a CR10X
Data can be replayed from a CR10X by determining where the current data pointer is in the
CR10X, calculating the approximate location of the start of the data to be replayed and then
setting the pointer to that location. (Note: The MRC-565 and CR10X have commands for setting
the pointer by date and time, but this only works if all the data in the CR10X is for the current
year. If the CR10X cannot locate the proper data, you may lose control of the CR10X, Then, do
NOT use these commands.)
To locate the position of the current data pointer, determine which master station the remote is
reporting to and send a CR10X,STAT command to the remote. The remote command response
will contain the current pointers (“R”) (Command responses will not be immediately received in
a meteor burst system):
