1.1 Overview
DataBridge SDR2-CF serial data recorders record RS-232 serial data to
industry-standard mass storage using an MS-DOS™/Windows™-compatible
FAT file format. The SDR2-CF (and SDR2-OEM-CF) is an SDR2-CF
equipped with a Type I or II CompactFlash (CF) socket and is designed for
use with CompactFlash storage media.
The SDR2-CF is equipped with two serial ports. With terminal software on a
PC, you can use the
configuration port
to manage files, set up and
communicate with the data port, set date and time, modify output messages,
download data, manipulate the storage media, and enter record and stop
modes. While recording, you can also monitor recording using the
configuration port.
During Record mode, the
data port
accepts RS-232C serial data from your
data source. For data sources that require initialization or querying, the
SDR2-CF can store and transmit up to eight user-defined messages. Each
message is independent and can be sent when recording starts, when
recording stops, or periodically at specific time intervals.
