CRIMSON SOFTWARE

Crimson software is available as a free download from Red Lion’s website or

it can be purchased on a CD, see “Ordering Information” for part number. The

latest version of the software is always available from the website, and updating

your copy is free.

DISPLAY

This operator interface uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) for displaying text

and graphics. The backlight can be dimmed for low light conditions.

Display backlights have a limited lifetime. Backlight lifetime is based upon

the amount of time the display is turned on at full intensity. Turning the

backlight off when the display is not in use can extend the lifetime of your

backlight. This can be accomplished through the Crimson software when

configuring your unit.

1. The operator interface is shipped without a configuration. After

downloading a configuration, if the light remains in the flashing state

continuously, try cycling power. If the LED still continues to flash, try

downloading a configuration again.

2. Do not turn off power to the unit while this light is flickering. The unit

writes data in two minute intervals. Later Microsoft operating systems will

not lock the drive unless they need to write data; Windows 98 may lock

the drive any time it is mounted, thereby interfering with logging. Refer

to “Mounting the CompactFlash” in the Crimson User Manual.

Unit is writing to the CompactFlash, either because it is storing

data, or because the PC connected via the USB port has
