12.1 Configuring a PC for talking to the CS125


Described below is the procedure for setting up communications using a terminal
emulator program. The terminal emulators built into many Campbell Scientific
software products can also be used.

The following settings should then be used by default:

Bits per second: 38400
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: none

Ensure that if the baud rate of the unit has been adjusted and then the
corresponding bits per second value is entered in the port settings of the terminal
emulator. The CS125 should now be ready to accept commands.

It is possible to set the CS125 into the default communication state via one of the
internal switches on the CS125 main board. See section 9.

13. Definition of the variables that can be set by the

user on the CS125

Both DevConfig and the command line interface can access all the user
configurable variables within the CS125. The acceptable range and the
identification number for these variables are listed below along with a short
description.
