A new adventure often starts with, “Who’s driving?” As you unpack your new CR6, you’ll be excited to get going right away. Hold on, let’s get someone in the driver’s seat!
Make sure you’ve got the latest version of the Device Configuration Utility (DevConfig) installed. You’ll need version 2.10 or later. You can get that from your ResourceDVD or from the Downloads page of our website: www.campbellsci.com.au/19_1_9999_83. You’ll also get the latest and greatest version of DevConfig when you install LoggerNet 4.3 or its patch. Note: the Device Configuration Utility version 2.10 and LoggerNet 4.3 will be released by the time the CR6 starts shipping.
First, click the install the USB driver link on the CR6 page of the Device Configuration Utility and follow the installation wizard.
Then connect your computer to the CR6 using the supplied USB cable from the bottom compartment of the CR6 box. Now, the USB communications port will show up in the selection list as CR6 (COM number).
Since your CR6 is powered via the USB cable, you do not need a separate power supply to configure or program it. You can just connect to a PC and be on your way.
