Section 1. Introduction
Whether in extreme cold in Antarctica, scorching heat in Death Valley, salt
spray from the Pacific, micro-gravity in space, or the harsh environment of
your office, Campbell Scientific dataloggers support research and operations
all over the world. Our customers work a broad spectrum of applications, from
those more complex than any of us imagined, to those simpler than any of us
thought practical. The limits of the CR1000 are defined by our customers. Our
intent with the CR1000 manual is to guide you to the tools you need to explore
the limits of your application.
You can take advantage of the CR1000’s powerful analog and digital
measurement features by spending a few minutes working through the
Quickstart Tutorial of Section 2 and the Overview of Section 3. For more
demanding applications, the remainder of the manual and other Campbell
Scientific publications are available. If you are programming with CRBASIC,
you will need the extensive Help available with the CRBASIC Editor software.
Formal CR1000 training is also available from Campbell Scientific.
This manual is organized to take you progressively deeper into the complexity
of CR1000 function. You may not find it necessary to progress beyond the
Quick Start Tutorial or Overview sections. Section 2 Quick Start Tutorial
gives a cursory view of CR1000 data acquisition and walks you through a first
attempt at data acquisition. Section 3 Overview reviews salient topics, which
are covered in-depth in subsequent sections and Appendices.
More in-depth study requires other Campbell Scientific publications, most of
which are available on-line at www.campbellsci.com. Generally, if a particular
feature of the CR1000 requires a peripheral hardware device, more information
will be available in the manual written for that device. Manuals for Campbell
Scientific products are available at www.campbellsci.com.
