10.10 Terminal Mode
Table CR1000 Terminal Commands (p. 502) lists terminal mode options. With
exception of perhaps the C command, terminal options are not necessary to
routine CR1000 operations.
To enter terminal mode, connect a PC to the CR1000 with the same hard-wire
serial connection used in the What You Will Need
(p. 46) section. Open a terminal
emulator program. Terminal emulator programs are available in:
• Campbell Scientific datalogger support software
(p. 95) Terminal Emulator (p.
530)
window
• DevConfig (Campbell Scientific Device Configuration Utility Software)
Terminal tab
• HyperTerminal. Beginning with Windows Vista, HyperTerminal (or another
terminal emulator utility) must be acquired and installed separately.
As shown in figure DevConfig Terminal Tab (p. 503), after entering a terminal
emulator, press Enter a few times until the prompt CR1000> is returned.
Terminal commands consist of a single character and Enter. Sending an H and
Enter will return the terminal emulator menu.
ESC or a 40 second timeout will terminate on-going commands. Concurrent
terminal sessions are not allowed and will result in dropped communications.
