It can be used in tandem with an external memory card. The SC115 can also be used as a CS I/O to USB communications interface. Cautionary Statements Corruption of multiple data files may occur if the SC115 is removed from •... -

USB port to allow stored data files to be copies to the computer. It also has a CS I/O 9-pin connector that attaches the SC115 to the CS I/O port of compatible Campbell Scientific data loggers. The SC115 may be connected directly to a computer or data logger, or connected through the supplied extension cables. -
Page 13: Memory Drive Function
SC115 CS I/O 2G Flash Memory Drive with USB Interface Memory Drive Function As a memory drive, when the SC115 is attached to the CS I/O port of a data logger, the LED (Light Emitting Diode) first flickers as the SC115 and data logger negotiate communications. -
Page 14: Setup
Setup The data logger requires inclusion of specific code in its CRBasic program to store data to the SC115. In rare instances, the SC115 may require a change to its default configuration through Device Configuration Utility software v. 1.5 or higher. -
Page 15: Programming For The Data-Collection Modes
In the resident modes, the SC115 remains attached to a single data logger allowing it to be used as resident external memory. The data logger can be programmed to bale data to the SC115 at regular intervals or at uniform bale sizes. -
Page 16: Programming For The Resident Modes
SC115 CS I/O 2G Flash Memory Drive with USB Interface When data retrieval is required, 1) a second SC115 is swapped with the first, or 2) the SC115 is removed, milked of data (perhaps by copying or moving data to a computer), and then reconnected to the data logger. -
Page 17: Datatable() And Tablefile() Instructions
DataTable() Size to 0 with the thought that doing so will direct data to only be written to the SC115 when it is attached for milking. However, such a programming tactic will result in failure since, in setting the DataTable() size to zero, the programmer also sets the TableFile() data buffer to zero. -

Page 19: Filename
When a program is compiled with “USB:” or “CS9:” in the file path, it searches the attached SC115 for any file names in the series. If it finds any, it uses the highest numbered file name, increments it by one, uses the result as the name for a new file, and writes the new data to the new file. -

). With these modes, the data logger begins writing to Interval Parameter (p. 11) the SC115 as soon as it is connected to the data logger. All new records are written to a single file. See previous TABLE 10-1 and Section 10.5.1, Data- Collection Mode Examples (p. -
Page 21: Interval Parameter
For data-collection modes, the Interval parameter determines what data is written to the SC115. Set this parameter to 0 to collect only data written to data logger memory since it was last connected. Set this parameter to –1 to collect all of the data stored in the data logger’s memory. -
Page 22: Lastfilename Parameter
600, a scan interval of 100 ms, and writing a file with TableFile() after every 10 seconds (every 100 records), only 400–575 records may be written to the SC115 due to the program ending at the 600 scan prior to transferring all the records to the SC115. To transfer the remaining data to the SC115, place the CardFlush instruction between the NextScan and EndProg instructions. -

10.5.1.1 Standard Data-Collection Mode 'Plug – Collect Data Since Last Plug - Pull 'In this example, the SC115 is connected to the data logger to collect the data 'written to the data logger memory after the last connection. It only collects 'data that were already in data logger memory when it was connected. -
Page 24: Resident Interval Mode Example
SC115 CS I/O 2G Flash Memory Drive with USB Interface 10.5.2 Resident Interval Mode Example 'Plug In and Leave – data baled from buffer to SC115 every 60 minutes 'In this example, the SC115 remains at the data logger as resident memory. -
Page 25: Cardflush Example
'Plug In and Leave – data baled when buffer is full, 'i.e. DataTable() Size = TableFile() NumRecs (memory efficient!) 'In this example, the SC115 remains at the data logger as resident memory. 'This program avoids data corruption by setting DataTable() Size to equal 'TableFile() NumRecs. -
Page 26: Cardout Example
The SC115, when used as a serial interface, uses the Campbell Scientific SDC protocol to facilitate communications between the data logger and a computer. The SDC address can be set to 7, 8, 10, or 11 (see Section 7.2, SC115 Settings (Optional) (p. -
Page 27: Troubleshooting Memory Drive
Another method is to set the NumRecs parameter in TableFile() to match the Size parameter in the associated DataTable() instruction. Depending on the rate at which records are written, this can cause data to be written to the SC115 at long intervals, greatly reducing the chance of removing the SC115 from the data logger while transferring data. -
