7.5.2 Table-Based Edlog Dataloggers

• Connect a single WindSonic4 to the datalogger Control Port p as described

in Section 7.2.3, SDI-12 Wiring, and download a datalogger program that
contains the SDI-12 Recorder (Instruction 105) instruction with valid
entries for each parameter.

• In the LoggerNet Toolbar, navigate to and activate the Test|Terminal

Emulator … menu. The “Terminal Emulator” window will open. In the
Select Device menu, located in the lower left hand side of the window,
select the station.

• Click on the Open Terminal button. If communications between the

datalogger and PC are successful, the red bar located in the upper left hand
side of the window will turn green.

• Click inside the “Terminal Emulator” window and press the <enter> key

until the datalogger responds with the “>” prompt (FIGURE 7-2).

• To activate the SDI-12 Transparent Mode, press the <enter> key a few

times. The datalogger will respond with a “>” prompt. Enter *# and wait
for a datalogger response. It will respond with a “F0000” prompt. Finally,
enter p (Control Port p) and press the <enter> key. The datalogger will
respond with “entering SDI-12”.

• To query the WindSonic for its current SDI-12 address, enter the

command ?!. The WindSonic4 will respond with the current SDI-12
address.

• To change the SDI-12 address, enter the command aAb!; where a is the

current address from the above step and b is the new address. The

WindSonic4 will change its address and the datalogger will exit the SDI-

12 Transparent Mode.

• To activate the SDI-12 Transparent Mode again and check the address

change, enter #8 and press the <enter> key. The datalogger will respond

with “entering SDI-12”. Verify the new SDI-12 address by entering the ?!

command. The WindSonic4 will respond with the new address.

• To exit the SDI-12 Transparent Mode, type in ∗ or press the <enter> key.
