Appendix D. SDI-12 Sensor Support
The terminal emulator is accessed by navigating to the Datalogger menu in
PC200W, the Tools menu in PC400, or the Datalogger menu in the LoggerNet
Connect screen.
The following examples show how to use LoggerNet software to enter
transparent mode and change the SDI-12 address of the sensor. The same steps
are used to enter transparent mode with PC200W and PC400 software after
accessing the terminal emulator as previously described.
D.2.1 CR200(X) Series Datalogger Example
1. Connect a single CS215 to the CR200(X) (see TABLE 7-1).
2. In the LoggerNet Connect screen navigate to the Datalogger menu and
select Terminal Emulator. The terminal emulator window will open. In
the Select Device menu, located in the lower left-hand side of the window,
select the CR200Series station.
3. Click on the Open Terminal button.
4. Press the key until the datalogger responds with the CR2XX>
prompt. At the CR2XX> prompt, make sure the All Caps Mode box is
checked and enter the command SDI12 . The response SDI12>
indicates that the sensor is ready to accept SDI-12 commands.
5. To query the sensor for its current SDI-12 address, key in ?! and
the sensor will respond with its SDI-12 address. If no characters are typed
within 60 seconds, then the mode is exited. In that case, simply enter the
command SDI12 again and press .
6. To change the SDI-12 address, key in aAb! , where a is the current
address from the above step and b is the new address (see FIGURE D-1).
The sensor will change its address and the datalogger will respond with the
new address. To exit SDI-12 transparent mode, select the Close Terminal
button.

mode to change the SDI-12 address from 0 to 1.
