Retrieve and Share Stand Alone Configuration Files

Whether you simply want to transfer stand-alone settings from one data logger to another, or you’re troubleshooting a recording issue, it’s sometimes helpful to be able to retrieve your stand-alone setup configuration. In this application note, I’ll show you how to do just that. In addition, we’ll take that stand-alone configuration, and transfer the setup to another DATAQ data logger.

To Retrieve a Stand-alone Configuration File

Begin by powering down the DI-2000/4000 series data logger, and wait for approximately 20 seconds.

Next, insert an empty USB thumb drive, and power up the data logger.

When the LED begins to blink white/black, press and hold the pushbutton.

Wait until the LED turns red before releasing the button.

Once the LED begins blinking Green/Yellow, remove the USB thumb drive.

On the USB thumb drive, you’ll find a CONFIG.WDH file. This is the configuration for stand-alone operation.

Transfer Your Configuration to Another Device

To transfer your configuration to another device:

1. Retrieve CONFIG.WDH from first device, using the above operation
2. On the second device:
3. Power down the unit and wait for 20 seconds
4. Insert the USB thumb drive from step 1 to the device
5. Power up the device
6. When the LED begins to blink white/black, push and hold the button
7. Wait until the LED turns red before releasing the button
8. Wait until the LED turns back to blinking Green/Yellow
