23.2 Campbell Datalogger Users

• If interfacing to a datalogger, ensure that your datalogger has the

appropriate PakBus operating system.

• Use either the CC5MPX built in web interface or the Device Configuration

Utility to change settings in the camera.

• Use the Device Configuration Utility to change settings in MD485 or other

PakBus devices.

• The Device Configuration Utility can also be used to set the Dataloggers

memory and PakBus parameters.

• Files must be less than 2 Mbytes for PakBus transmissions.

23.3 Configuration Process

1. Determine what will trigger the capture of an image or video. Options are:

a. Time

Enable and configure Self Timed Capture 1, Self Timed Capture 2 or
both.

b. External Signal

Enable and configure the External Trigger Capture.

c. Motion Detect

Enable and configure Motion Detect Capture.

2. Select the Power Mode that best suits your requirements (see TABLE

23-1). Options are:

a. Fully On

Used if no power constraints exist or if high performance is required.

b. Partially On

Provides substantial reduction in power (especially with the Ethernet
Power Mode set to Full Power Save).

c. Deep Sleep

Provides very good power savings. The camera does not need to
reboot when activated by a trigger. Recommended to use if more than
24 triggers are expected per day.

d. Off Mode

Offers the best power savings mode. Useful if less than 24 images or
video captures are required per day. It takes about 90 seconds for the
camera to wake up to start acquiring a picture.
