Section 10. Utilities

• To keep the process as simple as possible, DevConfig supports only

serial and IP connections between the PC and devices.

• DevConfig cannot only send operating systems to supported device

types, but can also set datalogger clocks and send program files to
dataloggers.

• DevConfig allows you to determine operating system types and

versions, which can be very useful in classic dataloggers, such as the
CR10X, where the operating system version in the datalogger is not
known.

• DevConfig provides a reporting facility where a summary of the

current configuration of a device can be shown on the screen and
printed. This configuration can also be saved to a file and used to
restore the settings in the same or a replacement device.

• Some devices may not support the configuration protocol in

DevConfig, but do allow configurations to be edited through the
terminal emulation screen.

• Help for DevConfig is shown as prompts and explanations on its main

screen. Help for the appropriate settings for a particular device can
also be found in the user’s manual for that device.

• Updates to DevConfig are available from Campbell Scientific’s

website. These may be installed over the top of older versions.
