CSM1 Card Storage Module

FIGURE 1. CSM1 Case
Below the card slot is a male 9-pin D connector. This is a Campbell Scientific
serial port. An SC12 cable (supplied) is used to connect this port to the
datalogger (for data storage) or SC532(A) interface (for data retrieval). The
card slot and 9-pin connector are positioned together to allow the CSM1 to be
mounted against the side wall of small enclosures, yet still allow the card to be
removed, or the unit to be unplugged. By removing the electronic circuit
boards inside the CSM1 the unit can be fixed to mounting plates, using the two
screw holes in the base of the case.
Visible on the top of the CSM1 are two light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The red
'Status' LED indicates the status of the module and card when the CSM1 is first
powered up. The green 'Write' LED indicates when the CSM1 is writing to the
card.
2. Specifications
2.1 Datalogger Compatibility
The CSM1 can be used with the CR10, 21X, CR7 and DSP4. (The BDR320 is
not currently supported.) The CSM1 emulates the SM192/716 Storage
Modules for data storage (9600 baud, binary). Data can also be stored at 9600
baud in ASCII formats, but this uses more card memory. The CSM1 also
supports data storage at 76800 baud with the CR10 Burst Mode instruction.
Program storage and retrieval are supported for the CR10, 21X, CR7 and
DSP4. The 21X and CR7 must be fitted with OSX- or OS7- software
respectively.
Where the datalogger software supports it, a program stored in program area 8
in the memory card is automatically loaded into the datalogger on power-up.
