Mike,

Rob Limbaugh emailed me with this suggestion and I thought it was likely as
I was fiddling around with the datalog button in BricxCC right before I
changed the batteries.  I am not a Robolab user but in fact use NQC.  I
have just used the datalog option of "clear datalog" and in fact the icon
is gone.  Thanks for your help and details about how it works.

shaped one quarter of a circle (two straight lines and one curved line
joining the ends of the two straight lines, filled in solid) blinking.

Everything appears to work fine. I did not have to re-install the
firmware and all the saved programs worked. I looked in the first part of
the constructopedia from RIS 2.0 and there was no reference to this
icon.  I also looked around online but could find no
interpretation.  Does anyone know what it is?  Thanks.

I have no idea how that would come to be blinking, but normally it's the
datalog icon. It means something is in the datalog, usually (I say that
because I don't know why it would blink after a battery swipe). I don't
know how you would erase the datalog with RoboLab, unfortunately (I'm
assuming from previous posts that you are using RL). I'm more of an NQC
character.

When the datalog is full there would be a full circle split into four. It
would also stop blinking. When it's 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% one quarter
shows up and doesn't blink. Blinking indicates partially full.
