lug to a suitable ground should be made. Cabling between the datalogger and
the SC-CPI should be as short as possible.

To configure the SC-CPI with a PC requires a software driver be installed on
the PC. This driver is automatically installed when DVWTool or DevConfig
software is installed. Once the driver is installed, a USB cable can be
connected between the PC and the SC-CPI. As indicated in FIGURE B-1,
DevConfig can then be used to check the SC-CPI OS version and examine
other settings and operational statistics such as:

• CPI communication diagnostics
• Serial or CPI load
• CPI frame errors
• CPI network information

Refer to the help window in the DevConfig Settings Editor tab for further
details about operations that can be performed and information that is
available.
