Campbell Scientific PC400 Datalogger Support Software - Manual (Page 26)

Section 4. The PC400 Main Screen
PC400 supports the CRBasic series of dataloggers, including the CR200/205,
CR800, CR1000, CR3000, CR5000, and CR9000. PC400 also supports the
Edlog dataloggers (CR500, CR510, CR10, CR10X, 21X, CR23X, and CR7
dataloggers) using any of their mixed-array, table-data, or PakBus operating
systems.
PC400 supports one medium of communications for any given datalogger.
These media include “direct connect” via serial communications (or “RS-232”)
via local serial cable, short haul modems, or other “transparent” links,
telephone, TAPI, TCP/IP, VHF/UHF radios, RF400-series spread spectrum
radios, and multidrop modems (MD9 and MD485).
PC400 does not support parallel port communications, RF95T modems, or
multiple media (such as phone-to-RF). PC400 is designed to use PakBus
dataloggers and other PakBus devices in their default configurations; they are
not supported as routers.
In order to be easy to use, PC400 relies on user-attended communications. It
does not provide for automated scheduled data collection or automated clock
checks. It also doesn’t support remote connections from other PCs.
In addition to the communications functions, PC400 provides Split, View, and
CardConvert for working with data files, Short Cut for generating programs,
and Edlog and CRBasic Editor for more advanced datalogger program editing.
These tools are accessed via the buttons on the main screen or the pull-down
menu selections under the Tools menu item.
Help for each application is available from the Help menu item, or by moving
the focus to a control (by clicking on or tabbing to a control) and pressing F1.
To exit PC400, either click the [X] in the upper right hand corner of the main
screen, or select Exit under the File menu.
4.2 Clock/Program Tab and EZSetup Wizard
4.2.1 EZSetup Wizard
Dataloggers are added to the network with the EZSetup Wizard. This wizard is
also used to edit the settings for a datalogger after it’s been added. The
EZSetup Wizard is automatically displayed when PC400 is run for the first
time. It can also be opened by clicking the Add or Edit buttons.
