Overview
The X2 includes three sensor ports that provide industry-standard protocols
including SDI-12, RS-232, and RS-485. The center port offers direct
communication (serial to PC) to the CONNECT software and power input.
CONNECT is a software utility that enables users to interface directly with
any NexSens X2-Series data logger using a UW6-USB-485P cable. It supports a
growing number of diagnostic and configuration tools to facilitate system
setup and troubleshooting.
