    I/O port of a Campbell Scientific datalogger. The SC12 cable supplied is used to connect the datalogger to the 9-pin port of the SC32A. Connection to the serial port of a PC is made with an RS232 cable such as the Campbell Scientific SC25 or SC25AT.

    DTR (POWER) 4. Operation Power for the datalogger section of the SC32A comes from the 5V supply on pin 1 of the datalogger I/O port. Communication logic levels to and from the data- logger are referenced to this voltage, ranging from 0 to slightly less than 5V.

    There are three cases were the SC32A could be used with this category of data- loggers: Case 1. An SC32A interfaces a terminal/computer to the datalogger and no peripherals enabled by pin 6 are connected.

    NOTE manual. In most cases, if the SC32A is used between the CR10 and some peripheral (e.g. a PC), and addressable peripherals are also present (e.g. a Storage Module), the jumper should be in place. This will block addressing information from reaching the SC32A interfaced peripheral.

    1. The input logic levels required by the Data Receive line of the RS232 device exceed the output level of the RTS and DTR lines. 2. The RTS and DTR lines which power the SC32A are absent from the cable going to the RS232 device.
