Communications

Wireless, remote, hard-wired, direct, or two-way communication

 

Data Storage

Several types of data storage devices are available from Campbell Scientific. Data storage devices can be used for redundant data storage,... more

Direct Communication

Direct Communication is our term for the process in which a datalogger communicates directly with a computer port. more

Ethernet

Our ethernet options allow Campbell Scientific dataloggers to communicate with a computer using TCP/IP. The local network or dedicated Internet connection... more

Field Displays

In most applications, data and communications interactions with the datalogger are displayed and monitored on a base station computer running one... more

Multidrop

A multidrop network allows many dataloggers to be interrogated via a single cable (two twisted pair in the case of MD485s... more

PDA

Some PDAs can provide some on-site communication functions such as setting the datalogger's clock, monitoring real-time data, retrieving stored data, graphing... more

Radio

Spread spectrum, UHF, VHF, or ELOS radio frequencies can be used to retrieve data from monitoring sites. We offer radios in... more

Satellite

Campbell Scientific supports satellite telemetry through the GOES and Argos systems. Satellite telemetry may also be possible using Meteosat, Inmarsat-C, and... more

Short Haul

Short haul modems provide local communication between the datalogger and a computer with an RS-232 serial port. The modem transmits data... more

Telephone

Telephone communications offered by Campbell Scientific are digital cellular modems, rugged landline modems for field use, and voice modems. Voice modems... more

Communication Peripherals

Most of our communications devices cannot communicate directly with our dataloggers; typically a communication peripheral and a cable are required to... more

Data Cables

Data cables and adapters are used to physically connect two devices together to allow data to flow between the two devices.... more

About Communications

Campbell Scientific offers a full range of telecommunication options that allow interrogation of a datalogger from a remote computer. Combinations of on-site and telecommunications can be used in the same application for maximum flexibility, convenience, and reliability.
