Dear All,

I'm using a CR300 device, and i've connected a CS650 reflectometer using the Short Cut Program from Loggernet.
ShortCut recommends me wire using the following way:
RED - BAT +
GREEN - C1
ORANGE - G
BLACK - G
CLEAR - G

Once configured, i start to measure but doesn't measure data.
Any ideas?

My Regards,

Italo

PS:The code produced from Short Cut is the following:

Hi 

First, the sensor is read only once every hour, so you have to wait for 00 minutes every hour for read a measurent .

Then the instruction provides that the sensor is set as SDI-12 and not RS232. If you have any doubt, try it with another prgram that reads in RS232 But it also connects cables differently!

There are instructions in the manual to change the setup.

However, it is also wrong to request processed data every 5 minutes if the sensor is read every hour!

Use short cut and ask for reading at every scan (everi minute)!
