CR200/CR200X Series Dataloggers - Campbell Scientific

Section 8. CR200(X) Configuration
8.3.1.1 Deployment Tab
Figure 42: DevConfig Deployment Tab
As shown in FIGURE. DevConfig Deployment Tab p. 64, the Deployment tab
allows the user to configure the datalogger prior to deploying it. Deployment
tab settings can also be accessed through the Setting Editor tab and the Status
table.
The CR200(X) default PakBus address is 1. Unless the CR200(X) is used in a
network, there may be no need to change the PakBus address or any other
default setting.
To change the PakBus address, use the up and down arrows next to the PakBus
Address field or key in the desired number (e.g., 5) and click the Apply button.
The Spread Spectrum radios in the CR200(X) series, and in the RF401, have
address, frequency, and power settings. These addresses are not PakBus
addresses but an address the radio encodes in its message. For radios in a
PakBus network to talk to each other the address and frequency settings must be
the same in ALL radios.
To change radio settings, use the up and down arrows or drop-down menus next
to the field of interest and click the Apply button when finished.
• Hop Sequence specifies the hopping sequence that will be used for the
built-in radio. Spread Spectrum radios have a band of frequencies that they
use. The radios “hop” from one frequency to another within this band,
allowing multiple sets of radios to communicate at the same time without
interfering with each other. This value should be set to match the Hop
