FIGURE 7-1. Device Configuration Utility

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.
