10.2.1 Overview
The Device Configuration Utility (DevConfig) is used to set up dataloggers
and intelligent peripherals before those devices are deployed in the field and
before the devices are added to networks in Campbell Scientific datalogger
support software such as LoggerNet or RTDAQ. Some key features of
DevConfig include:
• DevConfig supports only direct serial connections between the PC
and devices.
• DevConfig can not only send operating systems to supported device
types, but 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 web
site. These may be installed over top of older versions.
