used.
The terminal emulator is accessed by navigating to the Datalogger list in PC200W, the Tools list
in PC400, or the Datalogger list in the Connect screen of LoggerNet.

SDI-12 Sensors | 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. 38) are used with most
Campbell Scientific data loggers.
Changing an SDI-12 address — CR200(X) Series
(p. 39) lists the
steps used for CR200(X)-series dataloggers.
C.3.1 Changing an SDI-12 address
The example below was done with a CR1000, but the steps are only slightly different for CR1000X-
series, CR300-series, CR6-series, CR800-series, and CR3000 dataloggers. For CR200(X)-series
dataloggers, see
Changing an SDI-12 address — CR200(X) Series
1. Connect an SDI-12 sensor to the CR1000.
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 CR1000 station.
4. Click Open Terminal.
5. Select All Caps Mode.
6. Press Enter until the data logger responds with the CR1000> prompt.
7. Type SDI12 and press Enter.
8. At the Select SDI12 Port prompt, type the number corresponding to the control port where
the sensor is connected and press Enter. The response Entering SDI12 Terminal indicates
that the sensor is ready to accept SDI-12 commands.
9. To query the sensor for its current SDI-12 address, type ?! and press Enter. The sensor
responds with its SDI-12 address. If no characters are typed within 60 seconds, the mode is
exited. In that case, simply type SDI12 again, press Enter, and type the correct control port
number when prompted.
10. To change the SDI-12 address, type aAb!, where a is the current address from the above
step and b is the new address (see
(p. 39). Press Enter. The sensor changes its
address and responds with the new address.
11. To exit SDI-12 transparent mode, click Close Terminal.
