Page 13: Udl2 Configuration And Extraction
4.3.1.1 Read Config From uDL2 The first step in configuring a device is to read in the current settings from the unit. Click on “Read Config From uDL2”. The “Link Status” field will briefly show “Busy” as the current configuration parameters are read from the uDL2. After the link status returns to “Idle”, you will see the configuration settings currently in the uDL2. -

4.3.1.8 Set uDL2 Clock The “Set uDL2 Clock” is used to set the clock of the uDL2 from the PC clock. Note that in GPS equipped units, the uDL2 clock will automatically be set from the GPS receiver as soon as a valid GPS time fix is detected. -
Page 15: Reboot Udl2
The “Disconnect Duration” value is how long the relay is left open for each disconnect event. After each relay transition, the uDL2 will wait before taking the next DC potential measurement; this wait time is determined by one of the two “Sampling Delay” parameters. -

4.3.2.3 Coupon Current Sampling (CH2) or Potential Sampling (CH2) The second channel on the uDL2 may be used for measuring coupon current, or it may be used to measure a second potential point. The measurement type is selected by clicking on the appropriate radio button under the mode heading (see Figure 20). -
Page 17: Ch2 Potential Mode
The time may be displayed in UTC or local time. Click on the corresponding radio button to select the display time type. For local time, the time zone of the configuration PC is used to select time zone offset for the uDL2 display. -
Page 18: Data Memory Group
The “Extract To Master Data File” button allows extraction of the measurement data from the uDL2 into a CSV file. Prior to clicking this button, ensure that the desired time format is selected. Data may be extracted in UTC (GMT) time, or in local time. -
