5. Device Configuration (DevConfig) Utility
Our Device Configuration (DevConfig) utility is bundled in Campbell
Scientific’s datalogger support software and can also be acquired, at no cost,
from: www.campbellsci.com/downloads . DevConfig 1.10 or greater is
required.
DevConfig supports AVW200 configuration, real-time data display, operating
system download, and vibrating wire spectrum analysis troubleshoot. You will
need to configure the AVW200 if you are using RF (PakBus), SDI-12, and RS-
232 (Terminal Commands). To use DevConfig, the AVW200 must be
connected to a PC and a power source.
(1) The default settings for the AVW200 may be used for many
applications.
(2) DevConfig has built-in help for each setting, which is
displayed at the bottom of the window.
5.1 Connecting to DevConfig
To connect to DevConfig, follow the procedure listed below:
1. Use the 19246 Power Cable (shipped with the AVW200) to connect the
AVW200 to the datalogger's 12 V supply or a regulated external power
source. When connecting the power leads, the ground lead should be
connected first and then the 12 V lead.
2. Connect the AVW200 to a COM port on your computer using the 10873
RS-232 cable (shipped with the AVW200).
