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 Appendix
(p. C-5)
, are used with most Campbell Scientific
data loggers.
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.
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 terminal 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 terminal 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. Press Enter. The sensor
changes its address and responds with the new address.
11. To exit SDI-12 transparent mode, click
Close Terminal
.
