8.2 USB or RS-485 output
In contrast to the SDM output mode, which is prompted by a data logger, data can also be
output from the EC100 via USB or RS-485 in an unprompted mode. In this case, the EC100 sends
out data without initiation from the receiving device at a rate determined by the EC100. Only one
unprompted output type, USB or RS-485, may be selected at a given time. RS-485 output is
recommended if cable lengths exceed 100 meters. If a Campbell Scientific data logger is not
being used to collect the data from the IRGASON, either unprompted mode is recommended.
To use USB or RS-485 output, connect a USB or RS-485 cable from the EC100 to the receiving
device (see
(p. 15)), and configure the settings (see
The Unprompted Output setting must be set to USB or RS-485.
If RS-485 is selected, the RS485 Baud Rate must be set.
The Unprompted Output Rate must be set to the desired output rate.
All output data are formatted as comma delimited ASCII. To view the data in terminal mode, in
Device Configuration Utility
choose Unknown as the device type and enter Connect. Each record
terminates with a carriage return and line feed.
(p. 28) lists the elements in each output
array, and
(p. 29) shows an example USB data feed in terminal mode.
