Transparent mode is entered while the computer is communicating with the data logger through
a terminal emulator program. It is accessed through Campbell Scientific data logger support
software or other terminal emulator programs. Data logger keyboards and displays cannot be
used.
The terminal emulator is accessed by navigating to the Tools list in
PC400
or the Datalogger list
in the Connect screen of
LoggerNet
.

from our website.
Data loggers from other manufacturers will also have a transparent mode. Refer to those
manuals on how to use their transparent mode.
The following examples show how to enter transparent mode and change the SDI-12 address of
an SDI-12 sensor. The steps shown in
(p. 23) are used with most
Campbell Scientific data loggers.
B.2.1 Changing an SDI-12 address
This example was done with a CR1000X, but the steps are only slightly different for CR6, CR3000,
CR800-series, CR300-series, CR1000 data loggers.
1. Connect an SDI-12 sensor to the CR1000X.
2. In LoggerNet Connect, under Datalogger, click Terminal Emulator. The terminal emulator
window opens.
3. Under Select Device, located in the lower left side of the window, select the CR1000X
4. Click Open Terminal.
5. Select All Caps Mode.
6. Press Enter until the data logger responds with the CR1000X> prompt.
