The CR9000XC, a compact version of the CR9000X, holds up to five user-selectable I/O modules. It is a modular, multiprocessor system that provides precision measurement capabilities in a rugged, battery-operated package. It consists of an environmental enclosure, a base system, and a chassis containing slots for the I/O modules.
The CR9000X series is our fastest datalogger series, with a measurement rate of 100,000 Hz and a clock speed of 180 MHz, making it ideal for rapid sampling applications.
See the entire list of available I/O modules for the CR9000XC and CR9000X.
The CR9000XC's base system includes a CR9032 CPU module, CR9041 A/D module, CR9011 power supply module, and 128-Mbytes SDRAM memory for program and data storage. The CR9000XC's internal battery has a 7-Ahr capacity.
A mix of I/O modules is selected based on the measurements required for the application. Campbell Scientific offers a large variety of modules. Individual I/O modules can be swapped out, allowing the system to be reconfigured if requirements change.
I/O modules whose model numbers end in an E (e.g., CR9051E, CR9055E) and the CR9052DC include an easy connector module. Easy connector modules allow sensor wiring to remain connected while the input module’s measurement electronics and the rest of the datalogger system are used elsewhere.
The CR9000XC includes a non-corrosive, sealed, aluminum enclosure that provides protection from water, dust, and most environmental pollutants.
CR9000CX versus CR9000CIn August 2004, the CR9000XC replaced the CR9000C. The CR9000C and CR9000XC dataloggers differ in their CPU Module; the CR9000C datalogger uses the CR9031 and the CR9000XC datalogger uses the CR9032. The CR9032 CPU module supports a measurement rate of up to 100,000 Hz, provides a 180 MHz clock speed, and adds a built-in RS-232 port, 10baseT/100baseT port, CS I/O port, and PC-card slot. The built-in ports enable communication without using the special interfaces (e.g., PLA100, TL925, NL105) that were required for the retired CR9000C datalogger. The PC-card slot allows the CR9000XC to store data on a Type I, Type II, or Type III PCMCIA card, or on a CompactFlash® card if an adapter is used. An existing CR9000C datalogger may be upgraded to a CR9000XC by replacing the CR9031 CPU module with the CR9032 CPU module. |

Customers can add CR9000XC dataloggers to networks containing the older CR9000 or CR9000C dataloggers. I/O modules other than the CR9080 can be used with either the CR9000 series or CR9000X series. CR9000 series communication interfaces (i.e., NL105, BLC100, TL925, PLA100) are not compatible with the CR9000XC, and therefore have been retired. RTDAQ software is not compatible with the older CR9000(C). Customers can upgrade a CR9000C datalogger to a CR9000XC datalogger by replacing the CR9000C's CR9031 CPU module with the contemporary CR9032C CPU module.
With several channel types, the CR9000XC is compatible with many sensors, including thermocouples and 4 to 20 mA sensors.
Measurement and control peripherals typically used with the CR9000XC are our AM25T 25-Channel Solid State Multiplexer, SDM-CAN Interface, SDM-INT8 Eight Channel Interval Timer, and SDM-SIO4 Serial Input/Output Module. Other measurement and control peripherals are compatible but they do not support the CR9000XC datalogger's maximum measurement rate and are therefore impractical for most CR9000XC applications.
The CR9000XC typically communicates with a PC via direct connect or Ethernet. Because the CR9000XC has an on-board 10baseT/100baseT port, an Ethernet interface such as the NL100 is not required.
Storage capacity can be increased by using a PC or CompactFlash card. The CR9000XC's PCMCIA card slot supports one Type I, Type II, or Type III PC Card or the CF1 adapter and one CompactFlash (CF) card.
The storage capacity of Type II cards exceeds 1 GB. Type III cards provide data storage capacities exceeding 1 GB but may not be suitable for all environments. Campbell Scientific offers CF cards that store up to 2 GB of data. Please note that the PCMCIA and CompactFlash cards need to be industrial-grade and have a storage capacity of 2 GB or less.
Other communication peripherals are compatible but they do not support the CR9000XC datalogger's maximum measurement rate and are therefore impractical for most CR9000XC applications.
The CR9000XC includes a non-corrosive, sealed, aluminum enclosure that provides protection from water, dust, and most environmental pollutants.
CRBasic, the CR9000XC's full programming language, supports simple or complex programming and many on-board data reduction processes. CRBasic is included in RTDAQ, LoggerNet, and PC400.
RTDAQ Real-Time Data Acquisition Software must be ordered separately; the CR9000XC is also compatible with other Campbell Scientific software.

The CR9000X and CR9000XC differ only in the number of I/O cards they can hold. The CR9000X can hold 9 I/O cards, and the CR9000XC can hold 5 I/O cards. We provide both sizes to accommodate our customers; the same I/O cards can be used in either chassis.
Yes. The simplest method is to use conditional program statements that execute most of the code based on time. For example, the data could be scheduled to log at 6 a.m. and finish at 8 p.m. using CRBasic instructions such as TimeIntoInterval(). Another option is to use an IfThen/EndIf construction that does a logical test of light-level measurements based on a light sensor. An additional option is to use calculated sunrise and sunset times along with a combination of RealTime() and Case instructions.
For more information, see the “Decisions, Decisions, Decisions…” article.
There is a Custom button on the LoggerNet Connect screen that allows a variety of different data collection tasks, including collecting a range of data between dates.
Note that, by default, data collected in this manner is stored to the C:\Campbellsci\LoggerNet\Data directory. This is a different directory and different file than where the data is stored from the LoggerNet scheduled data collection and from the Collect Now button on the Connect screen. (Scheduled collection and Collect Now data go into the same file and use the same data collection pointers.)
One of the simpler ways to approximate how long it will take for a data table to fill up is to open the LoggerNet Connect screen, click the Station Status button, and view the Table Fill Times tab.
Note: Table Fill Time statistics cannot be calculated for a CR200-series data logger.
No, because it would not work. The SC32B is used to do the following:
It is possible to upgrade the OS without downloading each OS version between the existing one on the data logger and the most current one available. For example, a CR1000 can be upgraded directly from OS 14 to OS 25. However, when a large jump in OS versions is made, the upgrade will likely restructure the Status table and the Setting table, and they will need to be manually reloaded.
Note that in many instances, an OS update may not be necessary. Before updating, check the OS Revision History to see if a newer version would provide desired benefits.
Option 1
Update the data logger OS to the most current version. Use the TableFile() instruction with Option 64 to create smaller files. For more information, see the “A Better Way to Write High-Frequency Data to 16 GB and Smaller CF Cards” application note.
Option 2
In the CRBasic program, set up multiple data tables using the DataTable() instruction. In each table, specify the desired output interval using the DataInterval() instruction.
For example, the following three table definitions could be included in a program to store values once a day, once an hour, and every minute.
DataTable (Daily,1,1000)
DataInterval (0,24,Hr,10)
Minimum (1,batt_volt,FP2,0,False)
Sample (1,PTemp,FP2)
EndTable
DataTable (Hourly,1,1000)
DataInterval (0,1,Hr,10)
Minimum (1,batt_volt,FP2,0,False)
Sample (1,PTemp,FP2)
EndTable
DataTable (OneMinute,1,1000)
DataInterval (0,1,Min,10)
Minimum (1,batt_volt,FP2,0,False)
Sample (1,PTemp,FP2)
EndTable
Some Campbell Scientific sensors with an RS-232 output are supported in Short Cut. Because of the large variety of serial data formats, other sensors require creating a program in the CRBasic Editor. CRBasic Editor is included in several of the purchased software packages, such as LoggerNet. For more information, see the “Interfacing Serial Sensors with Campbell Scientific Data loggers” application note.
Note: The CR200X-series data loggers have very limited serial capabilities.
It is not possible to connect two data loggers to one modem and transmit data from both data loggers. However, two data loggers can be networked together so that data is sent from one data logger to the other, and then the data logger connected to the modem can transmit the data from both data loggers.
