D1.1 PC208W Datalogger Support Software
PC208W support of SDM-IO16 Instruction 188 requires
replacement of some PC208W files
Datalogger Instruction 188 for the SDM-IO16 was developed after the release of
PC208W version 3.3. Campbell Scientific will not release another version of
PC208W but instead will offer the next generation datalogger support software
which is LoggerNet. Instruction 188 is supported in LoggerNet version 2.1 and
later.
A special patch to PC208W version 3.3 is available from our website to give
support for Instruction P188. If you do not already have version 3.3, follow steps 1
to 3 below, otherwise start at step 4. You must have PC208W version 3.0 or later
to complete this upgrade.
1.
Go to Campbell Scientific website www.campbellsci.com/resource.html.
2.
In section “Product Upgrades”, click on link 3.3 to link to the patch for
PC208W/P.
3.
Follow instructions for On-line Upgrades. An email will be sent to you with a
link to the required files for the patch. The patch will upgrade PC208W to
version 3.3.
4.
Next, download file ed16update.exe from our ftp site,
ftp://ftp.campbellsci.com/pub/csl/outgoing/ to a location of your choice. Open
the self-extracting file. The default directory is
C:\PC208W\BIN
which will
be correct for almost all PC208W installations. (If your original installation
was to some different disk or directory, amend the path as required, and
install to the appropriate \BIN directory.) Select other options using the radio
buttons.
This upgrade also includes support for Campbell Scientific’s CS616
sensor.
5.
Follow the instructions below to upgrade your Datalogger Operating System.
