3.2 Loading a Program to the Datalogger
Before the datalogger can begin to make measurements, a program must be
transferred into its CPU. The program can be transferred using a PC and
LoggerNet or using PC/CF cards.
3.2.1 Direct Connection via LoggerNet
The datalogger program can be transferred to a datalogger using a PC,
LoggerNet, and some sort of interface. In the eddy-covariance application, the
most common interface is the RS-232 cable.
To avoid potential problems (mixed data and connectivity
issues), configure LoggerNet with one station file per datalogger,
even if the data is retrieved using cards and the computer is
connected to multiple dataloggers for monitoring purposes only.
See the LoggerNet manual Section 4.2. TIP
Set up a station in the LoggerNet network map; see Section 4.1 in the
LoggerNet manual for details. To transfer a program to the datalogger, start
LoggerNet. Click on the “Connect” button in the Toolbar. Select the station
and click on the “Connect” button. Check the datalogger time, it is located in
the upper right hand side of the Connect Screen. If the datalogger and PC time
differ by more than a few seconds, set the datalogger time by clicking on the
“Set Station’s Clock” button. To download a program, click on the “Send”
button. Navigate to the folder where the program is saved, select it, and click
on “OK”.
3.2.2 Remote via PC/CF Card
The datalogger program can be transferred to a datalogger using a PC/CF card.
The CRBasic dataloggers reserve 10% or 80 Kbytes of space, whichever is
smaller, on cards to store programs. Copy the program onto the card using
Windows Explorer.
Use only PC/CF Cards sold by Campbell Scientific Inc.
Although consumer versions of PC/CF cards will fit into the
card slot and operate, only the PC/CF cards carried by
Campbell Scientific have passed our temperature and
electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing. CAUTION
The following instructions assume a basic familiarity in the operation of a
CRBasic datalogger keyboard; see the datalogger manual for details on using
the keyboard.
Insert the card into the datalogger card slot. Press the key. If
necessary, select the “System Menu” menu and press the key. Select
the “File” menu and press the key. Select the “Copy” menu and press
the key. The cursor should be at the “From” line. Press the
