Section 7. Installation Program Send (p. 101), this has the benefit of usually (but not always) preserving CR3000 settings. Table 7. Operating System Version in which Preserve Settings via Program Send Instituted Datalogger OS Version / Date CR1000 16 / 11-10-08 CR800 7 / 11-10-08 CR3000 9 / 11-10-08 Campbell Scientific recommends upgrading operating systems only via a directhardwire link. However, the Send button in the datalogger support software (p. 404, p. 453) allows the OS to be sent over all software supported telecommunications systems. Caution must be exercised when sending an OS via program Send because: o Operating systems are very large files - be cautious of line charges. o Operating system downloads may reset CR3000 settings, even settings critical to supporting the telecommunications link. Newer operating systems minimize this risk. Caution Depending on the method and quality of telecommunications, sending an OS via Program Send may take a long time, so be conscious of connection charges. 7.6.2.3 Sending OS with External Memory Refer to File Management (p. 346). 7.6.3 Settings 7.6.3.1 Settings via DevConfig The CR3000 has several settings, some of which are specific to the PakBus® communications protocol. Read More! PakBus® is discussed in PakBus® Overview (p. 356) and the PakBus® Networking Guide available at www.campbellsci.com. The Settings Editor tab, which is illustrated in figure DevConfig Settings Editor (p. 102), provides access to most PakBus® settings; however, the Deployment tab makes configuring most of these settings easier. The bottom panel displays help for the setting that has focus. Once a setting is changed, click Apply or Cancel. These buttons will become active only after a setting has been changed. If the device accepts the settings, a configuration summary dialog box is shown (figure Summary of CR3000 Configuration (p. 103) ) that gives the user a chance to save and print the settings for the device. 101
