CC640 Digital Camera
2.3 Operating
The CC640 is capable of acquiring images in a self-timed mode, an external
trigger mode, and by manually taking a picture using the Snap button (Section
3.3). Self-timed mode is set using the Device Configuration Utility, while a
short pulse applied to the Ext. Input Signal on the camera will initiate image
acquisition in the External Trigger Mode. A CR1000 pulse port instruction
would look like the example below:
PulsePort (1 ,1000)'CR1000 Series Datalogger
When taking a picture manually using the Snap button, the power switch needs
to be in the ON position.
2.4 Retrieving Images
LoggerNet Version 3.1.3 or newer includes the executable LNCMD.EXE that
is required for image file retrieval from dataloggers (Section 14). Images from
cameras in standalone mode can be retrieved directly from the Compact Flash
Memory Card with a PC that has a Compact Flash socket.
2.5 Additional Reference Material
The CC640 Operating Manual is intended for use by those experienced in
working with Campbell Scientific dataloggers. For further information
regarding the various uses and applications of the CR800, CR1000, CR3000,
CR510PB, CR10XPB, CR23XPB, MD485, or any additional technology listed
in this manual, refer to the appropriate Operating Manuals of these products.
2.6 CC640 Quick Check List
• If interfacing to a datalogger, insure that your datalogger has the
appropriate PakBus operating system.
• The compact flash memory card must be formatted to FAT16 (Do not use
FAT32).
• Use the Device Configuration Utility to change settings in the camera.
• Use the Device Configuration Utility to change settings in all PakBus
devices.
• Data logger parameters can also be incorporated into the datalogger
program or changed with a Keyboard display.
• Verify that the lens cable is properly seated, as the connector may
inadvertently become unplugged during handling or installation.
• Device configuration is included in LoggerNet, PC400, and as a free
download.
Always insure that the Power Switch is placed in the Auto
Position.
