10. Set the Device Name (optional) and the CPI Address.
a. Device Name is a user-editable field to set a unique name to the VWIRE 305.
b. CPI Address specifies the address of the VWIRE 305. Each GRANITE Measurement
Module connected to the same data logger must have a unique address. By default,
the VWIRE 305 uses a CPI address of 1. Allowable addresses are 1 through 120.

8.3.4 Configuring with CPIStatus table
When a GRANITE Measurement Module is used in a program, the data logger adds a CPIStatus
table to display current CPI information. View the CPIStatus table in the LoggerNet Connect
screen, or Device Configuration Utility Data Monitor tab. Information about each module
included in the data logger program or connected to the CPI bus appears in the CPIStatus table
within the ModuleInfo() array. Information is shown in the following order:
GRANITE Measurement Module Type, Serial Number, Device Name, CPI Address,
Activity, CDM OS Version
NOTE:
CDM OS version will be the last element in the ModuleInfo() array for VWIRE 305 modules
with OS version 6 or newer.
Within the ModuleInfo() array index string, the Device Name and CPI Address fields can be
edited. This provides a way to rename and readdress a VWIRE 305 through Campbell Scientific
software without editing the CRBasic program or connecting directly to the USB port.
See
(p. 46) for additional information.
8.4 Data logger connection
VWIRE 305 devices communicate with a data logger through a CPI port. Each VWIRE 305 ships
with a 6-inch RJ45 cable for this connection, though any CAT5e, or better, RJ45 cable can be
used. To allow daisy-chaining, two CPI ports are available on the VWIRE 305. Either can be used
for connection to a data logger.
The CPI port on VWIRE 305 connects directly to the CPI port on a GRANITE data logger module,
CR6 and the CR1000X.
