SDM-CAN CAN-Bus Interface User Guide

For downloading software you will need the following:

• A recent copy of Campbell Scientific’s CSOS operating system download

program

• A copy of the SDM-CAN operating system (copied to your hard-disk)
• A PC running Microsoft Windows
• A serial cable (as described above).

The SDM-CAN also requires a 12V power supply, but does not have to be
connected to a datalogger.

To load the new operating system take the following steps:

• Run the CSOS software and set up the communications parameters to specify

the COM port to which the SDM-CAN is connected.

• Select the file containing the new operating system and then follow the

instructions given. This will normally involve following a sequence of turning
the module off and then on whilst starting the download process from the PC.

• Wait until the process has completely finished and reports a successful

upgrade before removing power from the SDM-CAN or quitting CSOS.
