5.2 DevConfig

DevConfig (Device Configuration Utility) is the preferred tool for configuring
the CR1000. It is made available as part of LoggerNet, PC400, RTDAQ, and
at www.campbellsci.com. Most settings can also be entered through the
CR1000KD.

Features of DevConfig include:

• Communicates with devices via direct RS-232 only.

• Sends operating systems to supported device types.

• Sets datalogger clocks and sends program files to dataloggers.

• Identifies operating system types and versions.

• Provides a reporting facility wherein a summary of the current

configuration of a device can be shown, printed or saved to a file. The file
can be used to restore settings, or set settings in like devices.

• Provides a terminal emulator useful in configuring devices not directly

supported by DevConfig’s graphical user interface.

• Shows Help as prompts and explanations. Help for the appropriate

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

• Updates from Campbell Scientific's web site.
