Figure 7 Camera connections for CS I/O port operation
4.3 CS I/O Port
The CS I/O port on the camera provides a connector for CS I/O communications.
The port is designed to communicate with Campbell Scientific dataloggers
equipped with CS I/O communication ports. A ribbon cable assembly (C1947) is
used to provide a male 9-pin connector that can plug directly to the CS I/O port or
to a SC-12 cable that connects to the CS I/O port (See Figure 7). The CS I/O port
is used to download image files to the datalogger. The image files can then be
collected remotely in conjunction with the regular data.
The camera will support only Concurrent Synchronous Device Communications
(CSDC) and will not support Modem Enabled (ME) Communications. The camera
can be assigned one of two CSDC addresses, 7 or 8. If another CSDC device is
connected to the CS I/O port, then the camera must have an address that is
different from the other device.
The CS I/O port cable lengths should be restricted to 12 feet or less to ensure
optimal operation.
