SC115

The SC115 is a lightweight, portable 2 GB device that allows users to augment their onsite data storage or to transport data between a Campbell Scientific data logger and PC. The SC115 can also be used as a USB-to-CS I/O synchronous device communications (SDC) adapter that supports direct communication between a data logger and a PC equipped with a USB port.

The SC115 consists of electronics protected in a custom molded package. It has a USB 2.0 compatible connector for attaching it to the PC's USB port, and a CS I/O 9-pin connector for attaching it to a data logger's CS I/O port. The SC115 may be connected directly to a PC or data logger, or connected through the supplied extension cables.

The SC115 is typically used as an external data storage device, but may also be used as a USB-to-CS I/O synchronous device communications (SDC) adapter. As a USB-to-CS I/O adapter, the SC115 supports direct communication between a Campbell Scientific data logger and a PC equipped with a USB port. However, the SC115 is not electronically isolated, and therefore is better for temporary communications with a battery-powered PC. Another device, the SC-USB, also supports direct communications with a PC's USB port, but is optically isolated.

USB drivers for the SC115 must be installed before connecting the SC115 to a PC for configuration or as a USB-to-CS I/O adapter. The driver can be installed from the Device Configuration Utility device page by clicking the "Install the Device Driver" link.
