Introduction

The CR1000X and CR1000Xe are our flagship data loggers that provide measurement and control for a wide variety of applications. Their reliability and ruggedness make them excellent choices for remote environmental applications, including weather stations, mesonet systems, wind profiling, air quality monitoring, hydrological systems, water quality monitoring, and hydrometeorological stations.

The CR1000X and CR1000Xe are low-powered devices that measure sensors, drive direct communications and telecommunications, analyze data, control external devices, and store data and programs in onboard, nonvolatile storage. The electronics are RF-shielded by a unique sealed, stainless-steel canister. A battery-backed clock assures accurate timekeeping. The onboard, BASIC-like programming language supports data processing and analysis routines.

The Getting Started Guide   provides an introduction to data acquisition and walks you through a procedure to set up a simple system. You may not find it necessary to progress beyond this. However, should you want to dig deeper into the complexity of the data logger functions or quickly look for details, extensive information is available in this and other Campbell Scientific manuals.

Additional Campbell Scientific publications are available online at www.campbellsci.com . Video tutorials are available at www.campbellsci.com/videos . Generally, if a particular feature of the data logger requires a peripheral hardware device, more information is available in the manual written for that device.
