stats file; unable to obtain it

[msgale]

to trouble shoot an error message, i'm trying to upload the stats file to alp. But three tries with two separate fat 32 thumb drives failed.

I tried to follow the directions from website.
Maybe I didn't do it correctly

please clarify between "next" button, "enter" button and "menu" button

My control panel has only two buttons:
left button has an on-off symbol
right button labeled menu

which is "next"
and which is "enter" ?

thank you for help

Menu = Next, Power = Enter. There's icons above the buttons (a straight arrow for next and a right-angle arrow for enter) but they don't have the words "next" or "enter."

Here's the instructions from the website with the button names clarified:


Connect the USB flash drive to the USB port on the AL Control Box, or to a USB extension cable,
Enter Yellow Menu by long press of the MENU button,
Press MENU 8 times then press POWER,
AL system will store your present settings (CONFIG.alp) and use statistics to USB flash drive by creating a file named STATS.alp. If file storing was successful the system will alert you with a short blue LED light. The AL system will exit yellow menu after a few seconds of being inactive.
Connect this USB flash drive to your computer.
Click Browse and find the STATS.alp file on your USB memory drive and press Upload.

What is your firmware version on your CPU? If you have not updated in a while the instructions above will not work. The procedure on old firmware was different. Make sure your firmware is updated prior to pulling a statistics file. Also, The ALP will only work with genuine USB 2.0 Drives and not the later 3.0 faster USB Drives.
