7.3.2 RS-232 Wiring
Our CR800, CR850, CR1000, and CR3000 dataloggers have COM ports
(control port Tx/Rx pairs) that can be used to measure RS-232 sensors.

The measurement sequence is to raise the blue wire from ground to 5 volts to
open the shutter, delay 6 seconds, and then measure the backscatter analog
output on the green wire. If side scatter is desired, then raise the white wire
from ground to 5 volts, delay 3 seconds, and then measure the side scatter
analog output on the green wire. In either case, lower the blue wire to ground
to close the shutter. Note that measurements can be differential or single-
ended. Differential measurements are recommended.
The output is scaled as 1 mV per TU. For example, 100 mV = 100 TU, 4000 mV =
4000 TU.
