CR3000 Overview
LoggerNet Datalogger Support Software (full-featured software) supports
combined telecommunication options, data display, and scheduled data
collection. The software includes Short Cut and CRBasic for creating CR3000
programs, and tools for configuring, trouble-shooting, and managing
datalogger networks. CR3000 support was added to LoggerNet in Version 3.2.
OV4.1.1 Options for Creating CR3000 Programs
1. Short Cut is a program generator that creates a datalogger program in four
easy steps, and a wiring diagram for the sensors. Short Cut supports the
majority of sensors sold by Campbell Scientific, and is recommended for
creating straightforward programs that measure the sensors and store data.
2. The CRBasic Editor is a program editor used to create more complex
CR3000 programs. Short Cut generated programs can be imported into
the CRBasic Editor for adding instructions, or for functionality not
supported by Short Cut.
For those users of CR23X dataloggers who are switching to CR3000
dataloggers, the Transformer Utility can be used to convert a CR23X program
to a CR3000 program, which can be imported into the CRBasic Editor.
Because of differences in program code, not all CR23X programs can be fully
converted by the Transformer. The Transformer Utility is included with
PC400 and LoggerNet software.
OV4.2 Connections to the CR3000
Campbell Scientific Power Supplies are described in Section 1.3. When
connecting an external power supply to the CR3000, first remove the green
power connector from the CR3000 front panel. Insert the positive 12V lead
into the terminal labeled “12V”, and the ground lead into the terminal labeled
“G”. Double-check the polarity before plugging the green connector into the
panel. For a CR3000 with an internal alkaline battery pack or rechargeable
battery base, the green power plug is not used.
Connect the white serial cable (PN 10873, provided) between the port labeled
“RS232” on the CR3000 and the serial port on the computer. For computers
that have only a USB port, a USB Serial Adaptor (PN 17394 or equivalent) is
required.
OV4.3 Setting the CR3000 PakBus Address
The CR3000 default PakBus address is 1 (Section OV2.5). Unless the
CR3000 is used in a network, there is no need to change the Pakbus address, or
any of the other default settings. To change settings, the Device Configuration
Utility (DevConfig) is used, as described in Section 0V3.
OV4.4 PC200W Software
This Quick-Start tutorial prompts the user through the process of programming
the CR3000, monitoring sensor measurements, collecting data, and viewing
data using the PC200W software.
