Transparent mode is entered while the computer is communicating with the data logger through
a terminal emulator program. It is accessed through Campbell Scientific data logger support
software or other terminal emulator programs. Data logger keyboards and displays cannot be
used.
The terminal emulator is accessed by navigating to the data logger list in
PC200W
, the Tools list
in
PC400
, or the data logger list in the Connect screen of
LoggerNet
.

SDI-12 Sensors | Transparent Mode
Data loggers from other manufacturers will also have a transparent mode. Refer to those manuals
on how to use their 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. 36) are used with most
Campbell Scientific data loggers.
Changing an SDI-12 address — CR200(X) Series
(p. 38) lists the
steps used for CR200(X)-series data loggers.
C.2.1 Changing an SDI-12 address
This example was done with a CR1000X, but the steps are only slightly different for CR6, CR3000,
CR800-series, CR300-series, CR1000 data loggers. For CR200(X)-series data loggers, see
an SDI-12 address — CR200(X) Series
1. Connect an SDI-12 sensor to the CR1000X.
2. In LoggerNet Connect, under data logger, 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.
