• Provide a terminal emulator useful in configuring devices not directly

supported by DevConfig graphical user interface.

• Show Help as prompts and explanations. Help for the appropriate settings for

a particular device can also be found in the user manual for that device.

• Update from www.campbellsci.com.

As shown in figure DevConfig CR800 Facility

(p. 93),

the DevConfig window is

divided into two main sections: the device-selection panel on the left side and tabs
on the right side. After choosing a device on the left, choose from the list of PC
COM ports installed on the PC (COM1, COM2, etc). A selection of baud rates is
offered only if the device supports more than one baud rate. The page for each
device presents instructions to set up the device to communicate with DevConfig.
Different device types offer one or more tabs on the right.

When the Connect button is pressed, the device type, serial port, and baud rate
selector controls become disabled and, if DevConfig is able to connect to the
CR800, the button will change from Connect to Disconnect.
