dataTaker DeLoad

Notes :
	
Global options are stored in options.ini
All dataTaker details are stored in found.ini
Email addresses are stored in emaillistn.ini
Date,time stamp for ulasts are stored in datatakermodeln.ini


For multi-language versions of DeLoad, you can edit the UseLangFile settings in options.ini to either use the default English text (UseLangFile=False) or to point to a
text file in the installation directory of DeLoad. The file name is as specified by the Language setting in options.ini eg: UseLangFile=True and Language=French will make DeLoad
look for the file french.txt from which to get language text. The file must contain text as per the instructions in the file english.txt.

Note : 	Do not use the & character anywhere in programs for DT500 series dataTakers as this is used to detect the end of unloads 

	If you are connecting to a remote dataTaker using modems, alwyas make sure that you set the local modem baud rate to equal that of the remote dataTaker

	When unloading using ulast, if the connection to the dataTaker is lost for more than the connection timeout as set in options.ini, the date,time
	stamp is saved for the last full record saved - this means that a maximum of 1 record will be lost for ulast unloads where the connection is lost
	during an unload
	
	The length of data records unloaded by DT800 dataTakers and converted to CSV format is checked, and any errors counted and the number copied to a file called
	LostDT800CSV.txt in the dataTaker's unload directory. Incorrect lengths can be caused by the connection to a DT800 being lost during an unload.

	If you add the 'NL' no log channel option eg: RA1S 1V(NL) to measurements being made by a datataker, the headings that appear in the unload files may not match up 
	to the data below, as the 'NL' option stops data being saved but does not remove the heading. This is a limitation of dataTaker operation. To overcome this problem, 
	if you have to use NL, make sure that in the dataTaker program all measurements that are logged come first. Then in the unload file there will just be headings at the 
	end with no data for the measurements that have the 'NL' option.

	For DT800s, if there is no current job DeLoad asks you to choose a job to unload data for. The job you choose is then made current and a H is sent.

	Make sure that measurement names in dataTaker programs are unique if you want to save data to an access database or else and error will occur when deload tries to 
	create the database

deload.exe command line argument examples

note : the ID ::n is created when dataTakers are added in the options control panel and can be seen in found.ini

deload.exe			unloads data from all dataTakers
deload.exe TEST			unloads data from the dataTaker with description TEST
deload.exe ::1			unloads data from the dataTaker with an ID of 1
deload.exe ::1 c:\test.txt	sends the contents of the file c:\test.txt to the dataTaker with an ID of 1
deload.exe ::1 %RESET		sends the command RESET to the dataTaker with an ID of 1
deload.exe ::1 %RESET%		opens up the terminal window and sends the command RESET to the dataTaker with an ID of 1
deload.exe &1,9600,n,8,1,H	opens up a terminal window connected to com 1 @ 9600,n,8,1 hardware flow control
           &192.168.1.1:8	opens up a terminal window connected to ip address 192.168.1.1 on tcp port 8

deload.exe description %command(%) doesn't work - you have to use the ID
