2.5 Configuring the 6200 DCP using EcoWatch DCP
All sensors connect to the 6200 DCP (Data Collection Platform). The DCP electronics
physically reside inside the NEMA 4X enclosure. You should now have all of your sensors
connected and a “direct link” RS-232 cable running from the 6200 DCP a COM port on your PC
(COM1 in our example). You should have an antenna or RF cable connected to the antenna
connector on the 6200 enclosure and you should have installed the battery and connected the
power leads to positive and negative terminals. You are now ready to create a file, configure the
data collection platform, and begin collecting data using EcoWatch DCP. Follow the step-by-
step instructions below to proceed.
Start by opening EcoWatch DCP, if it is not already running.
From the main screen click on the top line menu labeled 6200, then click on New... to bring up
the screen titled “Save 6200 DCP Configuration File As” Type in a filename of your choice (8
character maximum).
In the figure below the filename “checkout.s62” has been entered. Actually three
configuration files (.s62, .zcf, .ini) will be opened and saved in the location shown
(c:\ecowwin\sys6200). You have the option to direct the .s62 file to a location of your choice,
but we recommend that you accept the default path. Click on OK to proceed.
