SC115 CS I/O 2G Flash Memory Drive
with USB Interface
1. Introduction
The SC115 is a portable 2-GB memory drive (thumb drive) compatible with
Campbell Scientific CRBasic dataloggers that have a CS I/O port. It shuttles
data, OS, and program files between Campbell Scientific dataloggers and a PC,
or it remains connected to the datalogger to augment data memory. It can be
used in tandem with a CompactFlash (CF) card.
The SC115 can also be used as a CS I/O to USB communications interface.
2. Cautionary Statements
• Corruption of multiple data files may occur if the SC115 is removed from
the host datalogger or PC during data transfer.
• Do not disconnect the SC115 from the host while the LED is flashing or
lit. Always use the Safely Remove Hardware utility provided in the
Windows operating system prior to removal from a PC.
• Some data collection modes increase the risk of inadvertently
disconnecting the SC115 from the datalogger during data transfer. See
Section 12.1, Preventing Data Corruption to assess the risk in a particular
application.
• Always click Disconnect in the datalogger support software prior to
removing the SC115 when it is a communications interface. See Section
11, Serial Communications Interface Function for communication
interface details and precautions.
