b. For the datalogger settings, set the Baud Rate to match the radio’s RS-232
baud rate. (The radio’s default RS-232 baud rate is 38.4 kbps.) The
datalogger “Extra Response Time” can be left at 0 (see FIGURE 3-3).
For safety, maintain 20 cm (8 inches) distance between
antenna and any nearby persons while the radio is
transmitting.
FIGURE 3-3. The Baud Rate in LoggerNet must match the radio’s RS-
232 baud rate.
3.2.4 Step 4 – Connect
You are now ready to connect to your datalogger using the LoggerNet Connect
screen. After you connect, notice the flashing of the green LEDs on both
radios. This indicates that RF packets with the same hopping sequence are
being received by the radios. The red LEDs light solid while the connection
lasts. When you Disconnect, the red LEDs remain on for five seconds, which
is the default setting of the “Time of Inactivity to Sleep.”
Datalogger program transfer and data collection are now possible. Refer to
Appendix H, Distance vs. Antenna Gain, Terrain, and Other Factors, for a
treatment of communication distance vs. factors in the RF path.
