Section 13. Storage Module Software (SMS) If the communication errors are reported as CE_RXOVER errors, reducing the baud rate will help because it stops the buffer from filling up too quickly in situations where SMS is not able to respond to the incoming data. Via Datalogger/Target Address (SM192/716 and SM4M/SM16M Modules Only) When an SM192/716 or SM4M/SM16M Storage Module is connected with an SC12 cable to a datalogger which supports direct communications (CR10(X), CR500, CR510, or CR23X), you can establish communications using the “Via Datalogger” mode as explained below. Via Datalogger As an example, when an SM192/716 module is connected to a CR10(X), CR23X, CR500 or CR510 datalogger with an SC12 cable, direct communications can be established between the computer and the storage module (see Figure 13.2-4). Note, however, that the CR10(X), CR500, and CR510 dataloggers can only support a maximum baud rate of 9600. PC 7026, SC25PS or equivalent cable SC32A SC12 Cable CR10(X) SM192 or SM716 FIGURE 13.2-4. Connecting the SM192/716 to a PC and a CR10(X) Datalogger SMS can automatically detect if a datalogger that supports direct communication is present and request that a connection be made to the Storage Module. In these circumstances the Via Datalogger check box can be used for connection. This sets the baud rate to 9600 and enables the Target Address check box. If this Via Datalogger is not selected and you attempt to connect to a storage module, SMS will detect the datalogger’s presence and adjust the baud rate accordingly. Target Address The Target Address selector is disabled unless you check the Via Datalogger box, because this is the only mode that simultaneously supports multiple storage modules. An appropriate datalogger can be connected to up to eight storage modules simultaneously, each having a different address. The address selector is used to specify the address of the module to which you wish to connect. Note, however, that any module having a high address may answer to a call of a lower address if no module of the lower address is present. 13-6
