13. Troubleshooting Communications Interface
13.1 Breaking the Physical Comms Link
To avoid a communications error, always click on Disconnect prior to
physically breaking the SC115 interface link.
When the SC115 interface link between the PC and the datalogger is physically
broken before Disconnect is clicked in the support software, the software
requires about one minute to process the broken link. If the link is reconnected
before the break is processed, a communications error may occur. If an error
occurs, use the following procedure to re-establish communications.
1. Click on the support software Cancel button to stop the connection attempt.
2. Disconnect the SC115 from the PC for at least one minute.
3. After one minute, reconnect the SC115 to the PC and datalogger.
4. Close the support software, then reopen it, then click on Connect.
14. Technical Reference
14.1 SDC Addressing
SDC addressing suitable for most applications is set at the factory.
The SC115 responds to two SDC addresses. SDC address 0 is used when data
files are transferred from the datalogger to the SC115. This setting cannot be
changed.
When plugged into a USB port, addresses SDC7, SDC8, SDC10, and SDC11
are available to support Communication Interface Mode on the CS I/O port.
This setting defaults to SDC7, but can be changed using Device Configuration
Utility software (DevConfig).
14.2 Formatting Memory
The SC115 is formatted at the factory and is ready to use out of the box.
Should the SC115 require formatting, such as if the memory becomes
corrupted, it can be formatted through datalogger File Control (PC400,
LoggerNet, RTDAQ software), datalogger keypad (File | Format | USB), or
Windows
® Explorer (right click | Format). When given an option between
formatting as FAT or FAT32, always choose FAT32.
Formatting will erase all data files on the SC115. NOTE
14.3 Operating System
The SC115 is configured at the factory with an operating system. Unless
notified by Campbell Scientific, the operating system does not need to be
reloaded. Downloading a new OS to the SC115 does not affect files in
memory.
