User Guide 5. Operation 5.1 Terminal mode 5.1.1 Entering/Exiting the CS135 Terminal Mode The menu system is entered with the command OPEN Sensor_ID Password (The menu will time out & close automatically if not used for 10 minutes). Sensor_ID is the CS135 identification, a single ASCII character 0-9,a-f,A-F case sensitive. The default is 0. If a password is set then it must be entered here otherwise it can be omitted. The following text should now be displayed:"CS135>". The CS135 is now ready for terminal mode commands. The CS135 Commands are not case sensitive. The Parameters and/or password following the command are case sensitive. Example of the "open" command followed by the parameter "0": OPEN 0 Example of the open command with the password "Secret": open 0 Secret 5.1.2 Terminal Mode Commands General Table 5.1 gives a summary of the terminal mode commands available. Commands will always output all parameters on a new line after a CR LF & then the CS135 prompt 'CS135>'. If you only want to see parameter values without changing them then enter the command without parameters. If a particular parameter did not need changing then the parameter can be replaced with a comma (,). Back space will abort the command. The CS135 can be setup and controlled by using the terminal interface where discrete commands are sent. The terminal commands can be sent via a logger to the CS135 removing the need for a local PC to set up the unit. The terminal emulators built into many Campbell Scientific software products can also be used. Note however that DevConfig and PW Viewer cannot be used to load a new operating system as this requires XMODEM protocol. One common, freely available terminal emulator with this feature is called "TeraTerm" which is easily available on the internet. 19
