SC-USB USB to CS I/O Opto-isolated Interface
3.2.1.7 Enable ME Comms Mode
Selecting ‘Enable ME Comms Mode’ will force the SC-USB to only respond
as a modem-enabled device. This would only be used when all other
connection modes are being used by other peripherals or for compatibility with
an older datalogger or operating system.
3.2.1.8 Set ID
Set ID is used to make the SC-USB interface unique. This is useful if you have
more than one SC-USB interface connected to the same PC at the same time.
The default ID as supplied is 00000001.
Close the SC-USB utility when you have finished using it, as its
method of polling the SC-USB may cause the PC to become very
slow when running other programs. NOTE
3.2.2 Operating System (OS) Downloads
The OS download button in the Sc_USB.exe utility allows you to upgrade the
OS in the SC-USB to take advantage of new features and allow new product
support.
When using this option do not unplug the SC-USB or turn
off the computer, otherwise the operating system may be
corrupted and the SC-USB may then need to be returned
to the factory for repair. CAUTION
4. Using the SC-USB with Campbell Software and
Hardware
4.1 LoggerNet EZSetup or Standard Setup
The SC-USB does not appear as any special device within Campbell Scientific
software packages. Instead, it appears as a new COM port to both Windows
and Campbell software. To use the SC–USB, if using the EZSetup Wizard,
you need to specify a “Direct Connect” and then select the new COM port
number assigned to the SC-USB (see Section 3.1.6 above). If using the setup
tool in LoggerNet, you need to Add a Root device, select the COM port option
and select the relevant com port number; then Add the datalogger or
Pakbusport directly to the new ComPort.
In general, the baud rate settings that are offered in the EZSetup or Setup
screens can be left at the default settings as they do not apply to the SC-USB
which determines the best speed to use by automatically negotiating this with
datalogger (see Section 3.2 for exceptions).
4.2 Using the Device Configuration (DevConfig) Utility
4.2.1 Accessing DevConfig
The SC-USB can be used with DevConfig to change datalogger settings. To
do this, open DevConfig and connect the datalogger to the PC’s USB port via
the SC-USB. Select the appropriate datalogger from the list. For the COM
