4.4 CS I/O Port
The CS I/O port on the camera provides a connector for CS I/O
communication. The port is designed to communicate with Campbell
Scientific dataloggers equipped with CS I/O communication ports. A ribbon
cable assembly (C1947) is used to provide a male 9-pin connector that can plug
directly to the CS I/O port or to an SC-12 cable that connects to the CS I/O
port. The CS I/O port is used to download image files to the datalogger. The
image files can then be collected remotely in conjunction with the regular data.
The camera will support only Concurrent Synchronous Device Communication
(CSDC) and will not support Modem Enabled (ME) Communication. The
camera can be assigned one of two CSDC addresses, 7 or 8. If another CSDC
device is connected to the CS I/O port, then the camera must have an address
that is different from the other device.
The CS I/O port cable lengths should be restricted to 12 feet or less to insure
reliable operation.
