Section 5. System Overview
• Short distance networks — with no extra hardware, a CR1000 can talk to
another CR1000 over distances up to 30 feet by connecting transmit, receive
and ground wires between the dataloggers.
In a PakBus network, each datalogger is set to a unique address. The default
PakBus address in most devices is 1. To communicate with the CR1000, the
datalogger support software
must know the CR1000 PakBus address. The PakBus
address is changed using the CR1000KD Keyboard Display
(p. 451), DevConfig
utility
(p. 111), CR1000 Status table (p. 603), or PakBus Graph (p. 522) software.
5.3.9.2 Telecommunications
Data are usually copied through a telecommunication link to a file on the
supporting PC using Campbell Scientific datalogger support software
(p. 654). See
also the manual and Help for the software being used.
5.3.9.3 Mass-Storage Device
Caution When removing a Campbell Scientific mass storage device (thumb
drive) from the CR1000, do so only when the LED is not lit or flashing.
Removing the device while it is active can cause data corruption.
Data stored on a Campbell Scientific mass storage device are retrieved via a
telecommunication link to the CR1000, if the device remains on the CS I/O port,
or by removing the device, connecting it to a PC, and copying files using
Windows File Explorer.

Caution Observe the following precautions when using memory cards:
• Before installing a memory card, turn off power to the CR1000.
• Before removing a card from the card slot, disable it by pressing the Eject
button, wait for the green light, and then turn CR1000 power off.
• Do not remove a memory card while the drive is active or data corruption and
damage the card may result.
• Prevent data loss by collecting data before sending a program from the
memory card to the CR1000. Sending a program from the card to the
CR1000 often erases all data.
Data stored on a memory card are collected to a PC through a telecommunication
link with the CR1000 or by removing the card and collecting it directly using a
third-party adapter on a PC.
