Parameter Sets and reading parameters from a logger

Temprecord takes special steps when you are editing the parameters in a logger that has previously been programmed with a Named Parameter Set.

When Temprecord saves a named parameter set to a logger, it adds a "tag" to the 5th line of the user data. This tag contains the name of the NPS, and is used by Temprecord when the logger user data is read at a later date.

Specifically, Temprecord carries out the following extra actions:

•When parameters are read from a logger to initialize the Program Parameters dialog, the 5th line of the user data is checked.

•If a NPS name is found there, Temprecord looks for a corresponding NPS file on the user's computer.

•If one is found, it is loaded into the parameters dialog, effectively overwriting what was read from the logger.

The purpose of this behaviour is to "refresh" the parameters, so that if they have been changed in the meantime, the logger can be quickly updated with the newer NPS.

When Temprecord saves a named parameter set to a logger, it adds a "tag" to the 5th line of the user data:

This tag contains the name of the NPS, and is used by Temprecord when the logger user data is read at a later date.

DO NOT edit this tag. If it is modified in any way Temprecord will not be able to associate the logger with a Named Parameter Set.
