1.1 Overview

DataBridge SDR2-USB serial data recorders record RS-232 serial data to industry-standard mass storage using an Microsoft Windows™-compatible FAT file format. The SDR2-USB is equipped with a USB 2.0 socket and is designed for use with USB storage media such as USB flash memory keys.

During Record mode, the SDR2-USB’s data port accepts RS-232 serial data from your data source. The SDR2-USB data port supports baud rates up to 921600 bps and RTS/CTS hardware handshaking for reliable high-speed communication. Your SDR2-USB is also equipped with a real-time clock, power-saving features, non-volatile memory, and a resume-on-power failure feature. The SDR2-USB features a one-button front panel user interface that starts and stops recording.

SDR2-USB configuration is performed by editing a setup file on the USB storage device.

NOTE: The data source is a device that transmits serial data for use by a computer, printer, or data logger.
