• Formatting the SD Card - The SD Card will be formatted in FAT32 format.

• Rebel Reflashing - The Logger firmware can be updated via USB.

• Obtain the Hardware Configuration - The Hardware Configuration can be read via USB.

• Set Rebel Time - The Real-Time Clock in the Logger can be set.

• Setting a configuration to the SD Card - The configuration will be loaded onto the SD Card (in the SD Card Reader of the PC). To be used by the logger (once the SD Card is installed in the logger).

The 'DiaLog Remote software can update the firmware in the logger. To do so, follow these steps:

Plug the logger into the PC via USB; it may be necessary to also provide 12V via the OBD connector on some loggers, e.g., a CT Flexray Logger requires 12V via the OBD connector to run the FlexRay board. If you are unsure if your logger needs 12V and USB, you can connect it. It will not cause problems to have 12V connected, even if it is not required.

Click the 'Reflash Rebel' button.

You will see the connected Rebel firmware version of your logger. If this field says 'Limited Mode', this indicates that you must supply 12V via the OBD connector to reprogram the logger. If everything looks okay, press the 'Browse firmware' button to select the firmware you wish to program into the Rebel Logger.

Select the desired firmware to program into the Rebel Logger and press 'Open'.

Press the 'Reprogram' button.

Confirm that you wish to reprogram the logger by pressing 'Yes'.

After completing the Reprogramming process, you will see a box confirming that the data logger has been power cycled.
