Device Configuration Utility

The Device Configuration Utility (DevConfig) is used to set up dataloggers and intelligent peripherals before those devices are deployed in the field and before the devices are added to networks in Campbell Scientific datalogger support software such as LoggerNet or PC400. Some key features of DevConfig include:

• To keep the process as simple as possible, DevConfig supports only serial and IP connections between the PC and devices.

• DevConfig cannot only send operating systems to supported device types, but can also set datalogger clocks and send program files to dataloggers.

• DevConfig allows you to determine operating system types and versions, which can be very useful in classic dataloggers, such as the CR10X, where the operating system version in the datalogger is not known.

• DevConfig provides a reporting facility where a summary of the current configuration of a device can be shown on the screen and printed. This configuration can also be saved to a file and used to restore the settings in the same or a replacement device.

• Some devices may not support the configuration protocol in DevConfig, but do allow configurations to be edited through the terminal emulation screen.

• Help for DevConfig is shown as prompts and explanations on its main screen. Help for the appropriate settings for a particular device can also be found in the user’s manual for that device.

• When DevConfig is opened, it automatically checks for a newer version. If there is a new version, it is indicated on the toolbar. Select New Version to see the available update. Press the new version to see the changes in the new version. Then press Update to download and run the update. Updates to DevConfig are also available from Campbell Scientific’s website. These may be installed over the top of older versions.
