PConnect for the Palm Handheld
datalogger chosen was a mixed array datalogger, then the Datalogger field
will contain other mixed array dataloggers. If the original datalogger chosen
was a PakBus datalogger only PakBus dataloggers will be listed. This is
because the two types of dataloggers have somewhat different setup options.
If you need to change among datalogger types, you will need to start at the
beginning by going to the main window and pressing New.
If the datalogger type you selected was a CR510PB, CR10XPB, CR23XPB,
CR800/850, CR1000, CR3000, or a CR200 Series datalogger, you will see a
Settings button to the right of the Datalogger field. When this button is
pressed, PConnect will query the PakBus datalogger for its settings and display
them in a table. This information includes the PakBus address, various PakBus
control codes, and information on the datalogger model and version number.
CR205 Series dataloggers will also display radio settings.
CR1000, CR800/850, and CR3000 dataloggers show very little
information in the resulting settings table. However, the PakBus
address is retrieved and used in PConnect’s Setup window.
NOTE
If the datalogger type you selected was a CR510PB, CR10XPB, CR23XPB,
CR1000, CR800/850, CR3000, or a CR200 Series datalogger, you will see a
PakBus Address field. Enter the unique PakBus address that has been
assigned to the datalogger. If you do not know the PakBus address of the
datalogger, press the Settings button and PConnect will retrieve settings in the
datalogger. When the settings window is closed, the correct address is
automatically entered into the PakBus Address field.
Dataloggers may have up to three levels of Security. Security is set when
creating the datalogger program or (for Edlog programmed dataloggers) in the
datalogger's *C mode. If security is enabled in the datalogger, you may need
to enter the security code to collect data, set the datalogger's clock, and
depending upon the level of security, even to connect to the datalogger. Refer
to the datalogger's user manual for complete information on security codes.
Security is not available for CR200 Series dataloggers.
NOTE
The communication mode can be specified by selecting it from the
Communication field. PConnect supports direct serial communication, point-
to-multipoint RF400 radio communication, Campbell Scientific's SC-IRDA
infrared device, and Bluetooth communication (see Section 3).
