CR800 and CR1000 loss of data


Becky Jul 22, 2011 01:36 PM

I don't know what I am doing wrong but I seem to lose data every time the batteries powering the loggers either run out of power in the field or are disconnected? I assume this data is still on the logger but the error messages always say 'table definitions out of date'.
The only help I have found on this error suggests going to the connect screen, and then the datalogger option then updating table definitions but this didn't work.

Has anyone else experienced this and can help?

Thanks

The datalogger assigns two attributes for program files:

- run now: Specifies the file should be run as the current program

- run on power up: Specifies that the file should be run as the program when the datalogger powers up.

If the latter option is not set for the datalogger program and neither the powerup.ini file in the CPU drive nor the "Default Include File" setting in the datalogger specify a program that should be run, the datalogger will not have a program running when it powers up.

The "Compile, Save, and Send" feature in the CRBasic editor exposes these options and it seems like the most common problem is that the "run on power up" option is not specified.
