After installing the Device Configuration Utility, select the OBS500 in the
Device Type selection. Select the correct PC Serial Port and then click
Connect (see FIGURE 7-1).
The Terminal tab can be used to verify the setup of the OBS500. Select the
Terminal tab. Click in the Terminal window and push the Enter key several
times. This will wake up the RS-232 mode of the sensor. Once successfully
connected, you will see an OBS-500> prompt. FIGURE 7-2 shows the Device
Configuration Utility after pressing ‘l’ (one) to identify the OBS500. By
default, the OBS500 is in the SDI-12 mode for communication. Once in the
RS-232 mode, if there is no communication for 20 seconds, the sensor will
return to the SDI-12 mode.
