SECTION 5. TELECOMMUNICATIONS
5.2 REMOTE PROGRAMMING OF THE
CR10X
Remote programming of the CR10X can be
accomplished with Campbell Scientific Datalogger
Support Software or directly through the Remote
Keyboard State.
NOTE:
Entering
*0
compiles and runs the CR10X
program if program changes have been made. If
the CR10KD is connected it displays ‘
LOG
’ when
*0
is executed via telecommunications, i.e. it
does not indicate the active tables (entering ‘
*0
’
on the Keyboard/ Display itself will show the
tables).
The LoggerNet Datalogger Support Software
runs on IBM compatible PCs. Datalogger
programs are developed on the computer using
a program editor (Edlog in LoggerNet or the
separate Short Cut program generator) and
downloaded to the datalogger using LoggerNet’s
Connect screen. Alternatively, a terminal session
can be opened using any terminal emulator
program (e.g. Microsoft’s Hyperterminal) and
connecting via a serial cable and SC32A
Optically Isolated RS232 Interface to the CR10X.
LoggerNet’s Connect screen also offers such a
Terminal window.
The ‘
7H
’ command is generally used with a
terminal for direct entry since 7H makes use of a
destructive backspace and does not send ctrl-Q
between each entry. The 2718H command
functions the same as it does for other Campbell
Scientific dataloggers (deleting an entry causes
the entire entry to be sent, ctrl-Q is sent after
each user entry) and its use will be familiar to
those already working with a 21X or CR7.
The CR10X is placed in the Remote Keyboard
State by sending either ‘
7H
’ or ‘
2718H
’ and a
carriage return (CR). The CR10X responds by
sending a CR, line feed (LF), and the prompt ’>’.
The CR10X is then ready to receive the standard
keyboard commands; it recognises all the
standard CR10X keyboard characters plus
several additional characters such as the
decimal point and the minus sign (see Section
OV3). Entering
*0
returns the CR10X to the
telecommunications command state.
It is important to remember that the Remote
Keyboard State is a mode within tele-
communications. Entering
*0
exits the Remote
Keyboard State and returns the datalogger to the
Telecommunications Command State, awaiting
another command. In this way you can switch
between the Telecommunications Command
State and the Remote Keyboard State.
