Specifications
CC640 Digital Camera
Refer to 4.3 for a discussion of the connections between the camera and the
CR1000 datalogger CS/IO port.
13.4 CR1000 RS-232 Port Communication
The camera can be connected to the 9 pin RS-232 port of the CR1000. Section
4.2 describes the connection kit #19504 to make the connection.
The camera can be left at its default RS-232 BAUD rate of 115200. TABLE 3.
Camera to Datalogger RS-232 port illustrates the camera connection required
for interfacing to the CR1000.
13.5 CR1000 COM Port (control port) Communication
On the CR1000 the control ports can be configured to function as RS-232
communication ports. Any of these 4 COM ports can be configured as PakBus
ports and used to communicate with the camera.
The COM ports can be activated as PakBus ports using the Device
Configuration utility or by using the SerialOpen instruction in the CR1000
program. The following SerialOpen instruction configures COM port 2.
(BAUD rate 115200, PakBus Port - 4, transmit delay - 0, Buffer size - 1000.
SerialOpen (Com2,115200,4,0,1000)
Refer to Section 4.3 for a discussion of the RS-232 comport connections.
14. Remote Image Retrieval
Once the camera has transferred an image to a datalogger, LoggerNet
communication can be used to retrieve the image remotely from the datalogger
memory. For practical purposes it is recommended that the communication
link used for image retrieval maintain a speed of 9600 BAUD or more.
14.1 LNCMD.EXE
LoggerNet (Version 3.1.3 or newer) includes the executable LNCMD.EXE that
facilitates the image file retrieval from dataloggers. LNCMD.EXE is an
executable file that can be used to retrieve images from a datalogger. The file
is normally placed in the directory C:\Program Files\Campbellsci\LoggerNet.
The current command lines for the LNCMD.EXE executable are as follows:
• List-Stations
o Lists the names of the stations available to call.
• List-Files <Station>
o Lists the names of the files stored at a particular station.
• Send-File <Station> <Filename>
o Sends a particular file to a station.
• Delete-File <Station> <Filename>
