CRVW3 3-Channel Vibrating-Wire Datalogger Use the Save Last Results button to save the results of the test to a binary file (*.bin). This file can be sent to Campbell Scientific support personnel (or to others) and then opened within DevConfig using the Offline Analysis tab that is shown when not connected to the CRVW3. This will allow others to assess the condition of your sensor measurement in detail. Use the Export button to save the results of the test into a text file that is readable using standard text editor programs. The Send OS tab is used when updated firmware (an operating system) is installed into the CRVW3. Campbell Scientific will periodically provide firmware updates for the CRVW3 on its website. (see www.campbellsci.com/downloads). Once a newer firmware file is obtained from the website, follow the installation instructions that are displayed when this tab is selected. You can use the Terminal tab to make a terminal mode connection to the CRVW3. This is typically used under the direction of Campbell Scientific support personnel or by advanced users. See Appendix B, Terminal Mode from Connect Screen or DevConfig, for more information. 8.1.7 Validating Radio Connectivity in the Lab For CRVW3 devices with the -RF451 or -RF407 communications option, you should verify while still in the lab that the radio is working and has been configured to be reasonably ready for field operation. When using CRVW3-RF451 devices, the simplest way to confirm this is to use an RF450 radio (www.campbellsci.com/rf450) connected to your lab computer. The RF450 operates as the master radio device and the base station. The CRVW3-RF451 device is configured as a slave device. (See Section 10.2.6, Planning RF451 Radio Networks, for more details about master/slave radio configurations and base station considerations.) 24
