Two SRM-5A RAD Short Haul Modems support local communications between Campbell Scientific dataloggers and a computer with an RS-232 serial port. These asynchronous modems use a 4-wire unconditioned telephone line or the CABLE4CBL-L cable for transmission; data rates up to 9,600 bps are possible. Their low voltage transmission levels minimize crosstalk between adjacent lines within the same cable. Data are transmitted and received at a balanced impedance, providing excellent immunity to circuit noise.
LoggerNet Datalogger Support Software, installed on an IBM-PC® or compatible computer, provides software support for data retrieval, datalogger program upload/download, and remote monitoring.
