CC640 Digital Camera
2.3 Operating The CC640 is capable of acquiring images in a self-timed mode, an external
trigger mode, and by manually taking a picture using the Snap button (Section 3.3,
page 6). Self-timed mode is set using the Device Configuration Utility, while a
short pulse applied to the Ext. Input Signal on the camera will initiate image
acquisition in the External Trigger Mode. When taking a picture manually using
the Snap button, the power switch needs to be in the ON position.
2.4 Retrieving Images Loggernet Version 3.1.3 or newer includes the executable LNCMD.EXE that is
required for image file retrieval from dataloggers (Section 14, page 32). Images
from cameras in standalone mode can be retrieved directly from the Compact
Flash Memory Card with a PC that has a Compact Flash socket.
2.5 Additional Reference Material The CC640 Operating Manual is intended for use by those experienced in working
with Campbell Scientific dataloggers. For further information regarding the
various uses and applications of the CR1000, CR10XPB, CR23X, MD485, or any
additional technology listed in this manual, refer to the appropriate Operating
Manuals of these products.
2.6 CC640 Quick Check List • If interfacing to a Datalogger ensure that your datalogger has the
appropriate PakBus operating system.
• The compact flash memory card must be formatted to FAT16 (Do not use
FAT32).
• Use the Device Configuration Utility to change settings in the camera.
• Use the Device Configuration Utility to change settings in MD485 or
other PakBus devices.
• The Device Configuration Utility can also be used to set the Dataloggers
memory and PakBus parameters. These parameters can be incorporated
into the datalogger program or changed with a Keyboard display.
• Verify that the lens cable is properly seated, as the connector may
inadvertently become unplugged during handling or installation.
Always ensure that the Power Switch is placed in the Auto Position
