SC-USB USB to CS I/O Opto-isolated Interface

tool in LoggerNet you need to Add a Root device, select the COM port option and 

select the relevant com port number which has the SC-USB identifier; then Add 

the datalogger or Pakbusport directly to the new ComPort. 

In general the baud rate settings that are offered in the EZSetup or Setup screens 

can be left at the default settings as they do not apply to the SC-USB which 

determines the best speed to use by automatically negotiating this with datalogger 

(see below for exceptions). 

The SC-USB should plug into and work with any standard USB1.1 or 

2.0 compatible port. 

4.  Set-up Modes 

– the SC_USB Programming Utility 

The Set-up button on the SC_USB.exe utility allows you to configure the               

SC-USB interface to work with the supported dataloggers and peripherals and 

their modes of operation.  

This  program  is  only  needed  to  change  settings  for  some  older 

dataloggers or datalogger operating systems. 

The set-up screen is shown below, and the set-up modes are explained in detail. 

To run this utility you only need plug the SC-USB in a USB socket on the 

computer. A datalogger is not needed and should not be connected at the same 

time. 

On  some  newer  PCs  when  the  USB  lead  is  removed  as  part  of  the 

process  of  starting  communication  with  the  utility  an  error  may  be 

reported. Close the utility and restart the process until successful.
