SC105 CS I/O to RS-232 Interface RS-232 Baud Rates: The SC105 will support the following baud rates: 1200, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 RS-232 Parity and Data The SC105 supports the following: Parity: Even, Odd, None Data Bits: 7, 8 CS I/O Port Modes: CSDC, SDC, ME, Addressed Print Device for P96 output Electrical: The SC105 uses power from the +5 V line on the 9-pin interface connected to the datalogger Current Standby: Communicating: 0.16 mA 1 to 4 mA Additional current (up to 8 mA) from the 5 V supply may be used by the RS-232 device connected to the SC105 Physical Height: Width: Length: Weight: 2.3 cm (0.9 in) 4.1 cm (1.6 in) 8.9 cm (3.5 in) 45.4 g (1.6 oz) Environmental Temperature: Humidity: -25° to +50°C up to 95% non-condensing 3. Set-up Menu The SC105 has a built-in set-up menu for configuring communication mode, CS I/O port configuration, RS-232 port configuration, and other parameters. The Set-up Menu is shown in FIGURE 3-1. It is accessed by connecting the SC105's RS-232 port to a PC with the included null modem cable. The SC105 also needs to have power. Usually, the SC105 is powered by connecting the SC105's CS I/O port to the CS I/O port of a datalogger.

Press the Program button on the SC105 for one second to access the Set-up Menu. Changed settings are saved in flash memory by selecting Apply in DevConfig or menu item 4 if using HyperTerminal or Procomm. If left idle, the Set-up Menu will time out 60 seconds after the last received character and exit without saving any parameter changes with the message "Set-up Timeout." A datalogger can remain connected to the CS I/O port (to provide power to SC105) while setting SC105 parameters on the RS-232 port, although CS I/O communications would be inactive until exiting the Set-up Menu. 3

Set-up Menu
The SC105 has a built-in set-up menu for configuring communication mode,
CS I/O port configuration, RS-232 port configuration, and other parameters.
The Set-up Menu is shown in FIGURE 3-1.
It is accessed by connecting the
SC105’s RS-232 port to a PC with the included null modem cable.
The SC105
also needs to have power.
Usually, the SC105 is powered by connecting the
SC105’s CS I/O port to the CS I/O port of a datalogger.
With the null modem connection to the PC, typically Campbell Scientific’s
Device Configuration Utility
(
DevConfig
) is used, but a terminal program such
as
HyperTerminal
TM
or
Procomm
TM
(always 9600 baud, 8-N-1) can also be
used.
Press the
Program
button on the SC105 for one second to access the
Set-up Menu.
Changed settings are saved in flash memory by selecting
Apply
in DevConfig or menu item
4
if using HyperTerminal or Procomm.
If left idle,
the Set-up Menu will time out 60 seconds after the last received character and
exit without saving any parameter changes with the message “Set-up Timeout.”
A datalogger can remain connected to the CS I/O port (to provide power to
SC105) while setting SC105 parameters on the RS-232 port, although CS I/O
communications would be inactive until exiting the Set-up Menu.
