Benji,
I will send you a new version of WinSDR in a private email message. I'm
CCing the WinSDR list and I don't want to send out the attachment to the
list. The new version of WinSDR should fix the replay only problem. While I
was not able to duplicate the problem, I did modify the code so that the A/D
board version checking is disabled when you enter the replay only mode. For
the settings, make sure the system number of the systems that will be in the
replay only mode match the datalogger system number. Since you only have one
datalogger the system number on all system should be set to 1. If you still
have a problem entering the replay only mode try editing the WinSDR.ini file
and change the CommPort setting to 0 and then restart WinSDR. You will also
need to change the Record Files directory on the replay only systems to
point to the directory on the datalogger containing the daily record files.
The A/D board version number will not show up in the About dialog box on the
replay only systems.
-Larry
