RDP500 Remote Data Platform

As shown in Figure 5.2-1, 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 the serial ports
(COM1, COM2, etc.) installed on the PC. 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.

FIGURE 5.2-1. DevConfig CR1000 Facility

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
CR1000, the button will change from "Connect" to "Disconnect".

5.2.1 Sending OS with DevConfig

The CR1000 is shipped with the operating system pre-loaded. However, OS
updates are made available at www.campbellsci.com and can be sent to the
CR1000. Figure 5.2-2 and Figure 5.2-3 show DevConfig windows displayed
during the OS download process.

Sending an operating system with DevConfig will erase all
existing data and reset all settings to factory defaults.
