1.2 Field Station
Purpose: The field station is where the measurements are made. The
Campbell Scientific datalogger resides at this station taking the
desired measurements. Any field station can also operate as a
repeater. The only requirement is that the station’s antenna must be
able to communicate in all desired directions. This may require an
omnidirectional antenna.
Equipment Required:
• Radio
• RF Modem
• Antenna and antenna cable
• Datalogger
• Power supply, enclosure, sensors, and mounting needs
