Appendix D. SDI-12 Sensor Support
D.2.3 CR10X Datalogger Example
1. Connect CS215 to the CR10(X) (see TABLE 7-1).
2. Download a datalogger program that contains the SDI-12 Recorder
(P105) instruction with valid entries for each parameter. Make sure that
parameter 3 of the P105 instruction matches the control port number
where the sensor is connected.
3. In the LoggerNet Connect screen navigate to the Datalogger menu and
select Terminal Emulator. The terminal emulator window will open. In
the Select Device menu, located in the lower left-hand side of the window,
select the CR10X station.
4. Click on the Open Terminal button.
5. Press the <enter> key until the datalogger responds with the * prompt.
6. To activate the SDI-12 Transparent Mode on control port p, enter pX
<enter>. For this example, key in 1X <enter>. The datalogger will
respond with entering SDI-12. If any invalid SDI-12 command is issued,
the datalogger will exit the SDI-12 Transparent Mode.
7. To query the sensor for its current SDI-12 address, enter the command ?!.
The sensor will respond with the current SDI-12 address.
8. To change the SDI-12 address, enter the command aAb!; where a is the
current address from the above step and b is the new address. The sensor
will change its address and the datalogger will exit the SDI-12 Transparent
Mode.
9. Activate the SDI-12 Transparent Mode on Control Port 1 again by entering
1X <enter>. Verify the new SDI-12 address by entering the ?! command.
The sensor will respond with the new address.
10. To exit the SDI-12 Transparent Mode, enter *.
