Appendix B. Cables and Connector Pin
Descriptions
B.1 CS I/O
CS I/O is an interface unique to Campbell Scientific products. CS I/O uses
TTL signaling. CS I/O devices are connected using a 9-pin, straight-through,
male to female cable with all 9 pins connected. Use of the supplied SC12 cable
(pn 16675) is recommended.

B.2 RS-232
RS-232 is used for asynchronous serial communication. It is a standard
EIA/TIA-232 DB9 socket female DCE interface. A DB9 male to male null
modem cable (pn 18663) is used to connect the AL200 to a Campbell
Scientific datalogger’s RS-232 port.
