Erasing the firmware file will not affect meter operation, but you'll need to obtain a new file if
you wish to reset the current firmware or to upgrade the firmware; see the firmware update in-
structions in Section 10.3.

8.8 Downloading and Backing Up Data Files to a PC

Recorded data is stored in plain text CSV (Comma Separated Values) files,
and can be easily opened in spreadsheet programs. See Figure 8.6 below for
an example of a data file opened in a spreadsheet.
To download and back up files, connect the RH600 to a PC using the supplied
USB cable. The RH600 USB port is located at the top of the meter, as shown
in Section 2.1. Once connected, go to Functions in the programming menu
and select Connect Computer; the PC will recognize the RH600 as an exter-
nal storage drive. Simply move files from the RH600 root directory to the PC
to download and back up files.
