Changing Modes

Changing modes on the XP2i is accomplished by clicking the Switch Mode button. The software

will then proceed to make the appropriate mode change.

When converting to data logger mode, the gauge must be upgraded to operate as a data logger. The

software will automatically detect whether or not the gauge is authorized. If it is not, and you have

received an authorization key from your distributor or Crystal Engineering, the software will guide

you through the process of upgrading your gauge. See “Authorizing a Gauge”, on page 11. If you do

not have a authorization key, you can choose to use the gauge in an evaluation mode, but the gauge

will be limited to taking 100 points before the evaluation expires and authorization is required.

If an error occurs during the programming process, and the gauge is left in a mode where the dis-

play is continuously ashing, use the File > Repair Gauge menu option to x this problem.

When changing modes, the rmware of the gauge is changed. So, when a new version of rmware

is released, the DataLoggerXP software should also be upgraded.

Note: DataLoggerXP will not work with a gauge if its rmware is newer than what is sup-

ported by the installed version of DataLoggerXP. See “Installing the Software” on page

3 for

instructions on checking the version and upgrading the DataLoggerXP software.

Connecting to the Gauge

Connecting to the gauge is very straightforward: once the correct serial port has been set in the

Options dialog box (see section “Setting the Options”, above), simply plug the serial cable into the

computer and XP2i gauge ports and click Connect. If the gauge is already in data logger mode,

the program will retrieve the current logging parameters, and then allow downloading, viewing,

and saving data, as well as updating the logging parameters.

Password Protection

The password protection feature of the gauge allows you to prevent

unauthorized changes to the data logging parameters. Once the pass-

word is set, the Send to Gauge and Switch Mode buttons will require

the password, and changing logging param-

eters through the keypad will be disabled.

Passwords can only be set or removed using

DataLoggerXP or CongXP. In the event you

lose the password, you will need to contact

the factory for an unlock code, which will

remove the password protection.
