CR5000

Datalogger for Measurement & Control

Frequently Asked Questions: CR5000


  1. Why don't I need an SC32B to connect my PC to my CR23X or CR5000?

    The CR23X and CR5000 have one built into them. Therefore, they only require a cable to connect to the computer's serial port.

  2. Can I communicate with your CR5000 through LabView?

    Yes. You can use the CSI OPC server and the data socket feature in LabView, or use LoggerNet-SDK with ActiveX controls.

  3. I received a compiling error message after inserting a new pc card into the CR5000. What should I do?

    First, determine if your new PC card has been formatted correctly.  The CR5000 only supports FAT formatted cards, and most new cards come formatted as FAT32.

    To Format the card as FAT:

    • Put the card in your PC card slot.
    • Click on "My Computer" from the Windows Start Menu.  
    • Right mouse click on the drive that contains your card.
    • Mouseover your options and click on "Format".
    • Under File System, select FAT (not FAT32).
    • Make sure "Quick Format" is not selected, then click on "Start."


  4. Is there a limit to how much memory the CR5000 can access/use through the PCMCIA interface?

    The CR5000 supports card sizes up to 2 GB.


  5. Can the CR5000 store data with a rate of 1000 Herz? 

    On the 5 Volt range code, with minimal processing, measurement rates up to 2000 
    Hz on a single channel can be achieved.  On the 50 mV range code, the limit is 
    closer to 1000 Hz throughput on a single channel.  All 20 Differential channels 
    can be measured at a rate of 200 Hz on the 5 volt range and all 40 Single Ended 
    channels can be measured at a rate of 125 Hz on a single channel using the 5 
    volt range code.
