SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 Getting Started 5 NOTE: The data source is a device that transmits serial data for use by a computer, printer, or data logger.
Getting Started SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 6 1.2 Before you start Before you start, be sure you hav e the following items available: • DataBridge SDR2-USB • A 5-30VDC power supply • RS-232 DB9 serial cable • The device you wish to record from (serial data source) 1.
SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 Getting Started 7 NOTE: Your computer’s Windows installation may display different drive letters, file types, etc. due to differences in Windows versions, configurations, and software installations. On the rear is the male nine-pin D-subminiature connector (DB9M) for the data port.
Getting Started SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 8 Figure 1.3. Creating setup.txt. Once the file is created, double-click it to open the file in Windows Notepad and enter “DataPortBaud=9600” as shown in Figure 1.4. This tells the SDR2-USB to communicate with your data source at 9600 baud.

Configuring the DataBridge SDR2-USB SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 10 2.1 Comments Within the setup.txt file, it is useful to record comments documenting the settings chosen and why some configur ation choices were made. Comments are also useful for temporarily disablin g setting(s) for the purposes of testing multiple settings.
SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 Configuring the DataBridge SDR2-USB 11 NOTE: By default, the SDR2-USB uses a serial data format of eight data bits, no parity, and one stop bit (8N1). Most serial devices use this format. Figure 2.2. Setting date and time.
Configuring the DataBridge SDR2-USB SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 12 Hardware handshaking prevents a data source from sending data when the SDR2-USB is not ready to receive it – the SDR2-USB can “shut off” the transmitting data source if, for exampl e, the USB storage media is slow or not present.
SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 Configuring the DataBridge SDR2-USB 13 Figure 2.3. Specifying filename and folder for recording. 2.5 Configuring file creation behavior Be default, the SDR2-USB creates a new file in the recording folder every time recording is initiated, generating a new, unique filename based on the previous filename.
Configuring the DataBridge SDR2-USB SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 14 feed is received by adding the line TimestampTrigger=10. The recorder will be “armed” to time stamp when a line feed is received, then insert a stamp when the next character is received— at the start of the next line.
SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 Operations 15 3 3 3. Operations 3.1 Setup file reading The setup.txt file on the USB storage device is read only when power is applied to the SDR2-USB. Once read, all settings found in setup.txt are retained by the recorder.
Operations SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 16 3.2.2 Stopping recording Incoming data is written to the open file as it is received until you stop recording by pressing the record butto n. The SDR2-USB then closes the file, updates its directory entry (recor ding file size, date, and time), and returns to stop mode.
SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 Operations 17 NOTE: If your USB storage media was included with SDR2-USB, it is already formatted properly. Delete files on the target media using your computer or replace the media, then insert and press the record button to record data normally.
Operations SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 18 3.3 Lithium battery maintenance The SDR2-USB's real-time clock uses a small lithium battery to maintain time when external power is unavailabl e.
SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 Setup File Reference 19 4 4 4. Setup File Reference All SDR2-USB configuration is performed via the setup.txt file in the root folder of the USB storage device.
Setup File Reference SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 20 4.1.2 Data Port Setup Commands DataPortBaud (default=9600): Use this setup file command to specify a bits/second rate for communication with your data source. Industry- standard baud rates are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, and 230400 bps.
SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 Setup File Reference 21 possible when space available on the st orage media is exhausted. Together with scheduled file closing, this option can be used to configure the SDR2-USB as a circular buffer— as the disk fills, the oldest file is overwritten.
Setup File Reference SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 22 TimestampTrigger: The TimestampTrigger setup file line specifies a decimal ASCII character that “arms” the time stamping function. Once the trigger character is received, the recorder will insert a time stamp when the next byte of data is received.
SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 J4 Remote Control Port 23 5 5 5. J4 Remote Control Port 5.1 Overview The SDR2-USB’s J4 remote connector allows for starting and stopping recording via external switches/buttons or TTL/CMOS digital logic. The J4 connector also provides alternate outputs for the front-panel fault, data, and record indicators.
Setup File Reference SDR2-USB Configuration Guide rev 1.0 24 5.3 Functions Table 5.1 describes the functions of the J4 remote connector. V DD (3.3VDC) Regulated low-current voltage output. Use for deasserting active-low inputs and driving LED indicator outputs.
