Your new CR1000 is already configured to communicate with Campbell
Scientific datalogger support software
(p. 95) on the RS-232 port, and over most
telecommunication links. If you find that an older CR1000 no longer
communicates with these simple links, do a full reset of the unit, as described in
the section Resetting the CR1000
(p. 381). Some applications, especially those
implementing TCP/IP features, may require changes to factory defaults.
Configuration (verb) includes actions that modify firmware or software in the
CR1000. Most of these actions are associated with CR1000 settings registers.
For the purpose of this discussion, the CRBasic program, which, of course,
configures the CR1000, is discussed in a separate section (CRBasic Programming
— Details
(p. 122)).

7.7.1.1 Configuration with DevConfig
The most versatile configuration tool is Device Configuration Utility, or
DevConfig. It is bundled with LoggerNet, PC400, RTDAQ, or it can be
downloaded from www.campbellsci.com/downloads
(http://www.campbellsci.com/downloads). It has the following basic features:
• Extensive context sensitive help
• Connects directly to the CR1000 over a serial or IP connection
• Facilitates access to most settings, status registers, and data table information
registers
• Includes a terminal emulator that facilitates access to the command prompt of
the CR1000
DevConfig Help guides you through connection and use. The simplest connection
is to, connect a serial cable from the computer COM port or USB port to the RS-
232 port on the CR1000 as shown in figure Power and Serial Communication
Connections
(p. 48). DevConfig updates are available at
www.campbellsci.com/downloads (http://www.campbellsci.com/downloads).
