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. 30) 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 Granite-series,
CR6, CR800-series, CR300-series data loggers.
1. Connect an SDI-12 sensor to the CR1000X.
2. Open
Device Configuration Utility
.
3. Under Device Type, type the data logger model and double-click on the model type. This
example uses a CR1000X directly connected to the computer USB port.
4. Select the correct Communication Port and click Connect.
