Section 3. Overview 3.1.2 Sensor Support Read More! See Sensor Support (p. 37) The following sensor types are supported by the CR200(X) datalogger. • Analog voltage • Analog current (with a shunt resistor) • Resistive bridges • Pulse output • Period output • Frequency output • SDI-12 sensors A library of sensor manuals and application notes are available at www.campbellsci.com to assist in measuring many sensor types. Consult with a Campbell Scientific applications engineer for assistance in measuring unfamiliar sensors. 3.1.3 Input / Output Interface: The Wiring Panel The wiring panel of the CR200(X) is the interface to all CR200(X) functions. Most CR200(X) functions are best introduced by reviewing features of the CR200(X) wiring panel. FIGURE. CR200(X) Wiring Panel (p. 5) illustrates the wiring panel and some CR200(X) functions accessed through it. Read More! Read Measurement and Control Peripherals (p. 49) for more information. 3.1.3.1 Measurement Inputs Measurements require a physical connection with a sensor at an input channel and CRBASIC programming to instruct the CR200(X) how to make, process, and store the measurement. The CR200(X) wiring panel has the following input channels: Analog Voltage: 5 channels (SE 1-5). • Input voltage range: 0 mV to 2500 mV. • Measurement resolution: 0.6 mV 25
