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.
