9.3 Configuring VOLT 100 series
The VOLT 100 series arrives ready to be connected to a system. Device configuration is only
required when multiple GRANITE Measurement Modules are connected to a single data logger.
Each module must have a unique address. Set a unique device name for further distinction
between GRANITE Measurement Modules.
Configure the VOLT 100 series using one of four methods: through SURVEYOR, the
CPIAddModule()
program instruction, Device Configuration Utility software, or the CPIStatus
table.
9.3.1 Configuring with SURVEYOR
Modules are automatically configured when connected to SURVEYOR. SURVEYOR sets the
module CPI address to 1 and uses the device type and serial number to generate and assign a
device name such as ‘VOLT108-1234’.
For more information see
Measurement quickstart using SURVEYOR
9.3.2 Configuring with the CPIAddModule() instruction
To configure a VOLT 100 series within a program, use the
CPIAddModule()
instruction. A
separate instruction is used for each device. The
CPIAddModule()
instruction overrides
settings entered by other means, such as Device Configuration Utility or the CPIStatus table.
CPIAddModule
(CDMType, CDMSerialNo, CDMDeviceName, CPIAddress)
The data logger creates an internal list of CPI modules from each
CPIAddModule()
instruction. Modules added to the CPI bus will be checked against this list and reconfigured
accordingly. See a programming example:

NOTE:
The
CPIAddModule()
instruction overrides changes made through SURVEYOR, Device
Configuration Utility or the CPIStatus table.
9.3.3 Configuring with Device Configuration Utility
Install the device driver before connecting the VOLT 100 series to a computer. This is optional for
Windows 10, or later, operating systems.
