4.2 Campbell Dataloggers Users
If interfacing to a datalogger, ensure that the datalogger
has the latest PakBus operating system.
Use either the CCFC built in-web interface, the Device
Configuration Utility, or PakBus Graph to change settings
in the camera.
Use the Device Configuration Utility to change settings in
MD485 or other PakBus devices.
The Device Configuration Utility can also be used to set
the datalogger memory and PakBus parameters.
Files (pictures or video) must be less than 2 MB for
PakBus transmissions.
The datalogger instruction SendVariables can be used to
send variables or text to the camera, for use in photo or
video captions. The instruction can also be used to control
the window defroster.
