programming to output and accept these same ASCII strings. A similar program
can be used to emulate CR10X and CR23X dataloggers.
Solution: CRBasic example Measure Sensors / Send RS-232 Data
(p. 216) imports
and exports serial data via the CR800 RS-232 port. Imported data are expected to
have the form of the legacy Campbell Scientific time set C command. Exported
data has the form of the legacy Campbell Scientific Printable ASCII format.
Note The nine-pin RS-232 port can be used to download the CR800 program if
the SerialOpen() baud rate matches that of the datalogger support software (p. 382,
p. 429).
However, two-way PakBus
®
communications will cause the CR800 to
occasionally send unsolicited PakBus
®
packets out the RS-232 port for at least 40
seconds after the last PakBus
®
communication. This will produce some "noise" on
the intended data-output signal.
Monitor the CR800 RS-232 port with the HyperTerminal instance described in
Configure HyperTerminal
(p. 212). Send C-command file to set the clock according
to the text in the file.
Note The HyperTerminal file will not update automatically with actual time. The
file only simulates a clock source for the purposes of this example.
