Overview
The CDM-A108 is an analog input module that allows you to easily expand your Campbell Scientific data logging system. The CDM-A108 features a 24-bit, analog-to-digital converter and a low-noise, analog front-end to provide you with superior analog measurements. This module also supports period average measurements and includes both current and voltage excitation channels.
The CDM-A108 has eight differential inputs and two excitation channels. It provides both a 12 V and a switched 12 V port for powering your peripherals and two switched 5 V ports for peripheral control.

The CPI Calculator is a downloadable Microsoft Excel spreadsheet used to estimate the usage and capacity of a CPI network. The calculator provides an overview on CPI devices including the CDM-A108, CDM-A116, CDM-VW300, CDM-VW305, and the CSAT3B. The calculator can also estimate the measurement speed of the CDM-A108 and CDM-A116 based on the number of channels and measurement parameters.
The CPI Calculator is an estimation tool and will help you better understand and design CPI networks by considering the following:
- What is the capability of each CDM or CPI device
- What is the CPI network capacity
- How much of the CPI capacity are the CDMs or CPI devices using
