Software overview
The RBRcervata is capable of fully managing RBR loggers connected to it according to the settings stored in it. This includes downloading, clock syncing, dataset rollover and configuration. All of the user-accessible controls are available through a serial console on its Diagnostic Port (115200 8N1).
Diagnostic menu
This menu can be accessed via the diagnostic port using an RS232 interface (115200 8N1). This menu is a fully-featured Bash terminal (Restricted Bash) with 'tab' completion. The available commands are shown by executing the 'help' command. You will find all you need to set up a deployment using the RBRcervata and RBR loggers. As a quick in menu reference, each command prints a short manual by executing them with the '-h' or '--help' argument to it.

Configuration files
The RBRcervata's behaviour can be described using its configuration files, Cervello configuration and Instrument configuration. The former defines how the RBRcervata is going to behave while the former dictates the configuration to be loaded into each instrument for each deployment.
