Initialization
The Data Logger DCX needs to be initialized before communication can be established with it. This
can be done by clicking Read Configuration. If a device is present, its settings are read in and
displayed in WriterWL. The device type, serial number, device time and PC time as well as the (total)
memory available in the device are listed in the status window. The status bar shows the current
recording status as well as the current time.

Settings
Editing the device identity:
On this screen you may enter a description (max. 63 characters) by which the device can be uniquely
identified. This identification, along with the current date/time and index, is used to form the name of
the file that the reader creates after reading in recorded data.
Setting the Pressure-Offset:
It is possible to recalibrate the pressure offset of the
existing sensors. This can become necessary if, for
example, the original values do not tally exactly due to the
measuring setup. Either an individual sensor, or both
sensors simultaneously if installed, can be set to a new
value.
To reset a sensor to its factory setting, click Set Factory Zero respectively.
To update the pressure values displayed, click Read Act Value(s).
