Section 4. The RTDAQ Main Screen

The CR800/850, CR1000 and CR3000 dataloggers keep track of the PakBus
addresses of other devices that communicate with them, including PCs. If
more than one PC is communicating with a single PakBus datalogger, it may
be helpful to assign each PC its own PakBus address. PakBus addresses
greater than 3999 are reserved for PCs or routers. Address 4095 is reserved
for broadcast messages. Keep in mind that, although PakBus devices keep
their own routing tables, they will communicate with any other PakBus device
that has an address >3999. Therefore, you may want to use different PakBus
addresses for each PC communicating with your PakBus dataloggers. RTDAQ
uses address 4090 by default, LoggerNet uses 4094, PC400 uses 4093,
PC200(W) uses 4092, and 4091 is used by CSI’s PDA software. This menu
item provides the ability to change that computer level address.
