Appendix C. Serial Port Pinouts
connect the computer DTE device to the CR1000 DCE device. The following
table describes
RS-232
pin function with standard DCE-naming notation.
Note
Pins 1, 4, 6, and 9 function differently than a standard DCE device. This is
to accommodate a connection to a modem or other DCE device via a null modem.

C.2.2 Power States
The
RS-232
port is powered under the following conditions: 1) when the setting
RS232Power
is set or 2) when the
SerialOpen()
for
COMRS232
is used in the
program. These conditions leave
RS-232
on with no timeout. If
SerialClose()
is
used after
SerialOpen(),
the port is powered down and left in a sleep mode
waiting for characters to come in.
Under normal operation, the port is powered down waiting for input. Upon
receiving input there is a 40 second software timeout before shutting down. The
40 second timeout is generally circumvented when communicating with
datalogger support software
(p. 95)
because it sends information as part of the
protocol that lets the CR1000 know it can shut down the port.
When in sleep mode, hardware is configured to detect activity and wake up. Sleep
mode has the penalty of losing the first character of the incoming data stream.
PakBus takes this into consideration in the "ring packets" that are preceded with
extra sync bytes at the start of the packet.
SerialOpen()
leaves the interface
powered-up, so no incoming bytes are lost.
When the logger has data to send via
RS-232
, if the data are not a response to a
received packet, such as sending a beacon, then it will power up the interface,
