Restart the project in OptoDataLink Configurator. If OptoDataLink Configurator is already running, close it, restart it, and then reopen the project.
Click the Stop All Links button. (From the menu, click Run > Stop all links).
To restart the flow of data, click the Save and Start All Links button. (From the menu, click Run > Start all links).
