Data Storage, External
Several types of data storage devices are available from Campbell Scientific. Data storage devices can be used for redundant data storage, additional data storage, or...
Direct Communication
Ethernet
Our ethernet options allow Campbell Scientific dataloggers to communicate with a computer using TCP/IP. The local network or dedicated Internet connection can also be accessed...
Field Displays
In most applications, data and communications interactions with the datalogger are displayed and monitored on a base station computer running one of our datalogger support...
Multidrop
A multidrop network allows many dataloggers to be interrogated via a single cable. Individual multidrop modems are assigned unique addresses.
PDA
A portable handheld device (PDA) can be used to collect and display the datalogger’s data, transfer datalogger programs, graph data for up to two elements,...
Radio
Spread spectrum, UHF, VHF, or ELOS radio frequencies can be used to retrieve data from monitoring sites. We offer radios in the 900 MHz, 2.4...
Satellite
Campbell Scientific supports satellite telemetry through the GOES, Argos, and Meteosat systems. Satellite telemetry may also be possible using other satellite systems; contact the factory...
Short Haul
Short haul modems provide local communication between the datalogger and a computer with an RS-232 serial port. The modem transmits data up to 6.5 miles...
Telephone
Telephone communications offered by Campbell Scientific are digital cellular modems, rugged landline modems for field use, and voice modems. Voice modems allow you to access...
Communication Peripherals
Some of our communication devices require a peripheral to complete the connection. Devices that require a communication peripheral include cellular modems, short-haul modems, and fiber...
Data Cables
Data cables physically connect two devices together to allow data to flow between the two devices. They may be used to connect a datalogger to...

About Communications
Campbell Scientific offers a full range of communication devices. On-site peripherals include external data storage devices, PDAs, laptop or desktop computers, and displays.
Telemetry peripherals support communications between the datalogger and one or more computers. These peripherals allow the user to access remotely the datalogger's real-time data, stored data, and programming. Examples include short haul, multidrop, telephone, radio, and satellite modems.
Combinations of on-site and telemetry devices can be used in the same application for maximum flexibility, convenience, and reliability.

FAQs for
There are several options:
- Use our SC-USB
- Use the SC32B with a #17394 cable
- Use your own USB interface. If you choose this option, be aware that not all commercially-available devices work correctly with our dataloggers and software.
In its simplest form, a server "hears" requests and "delivers" answers. In the case of RTMC Web Server, it "hears" requests from PCs, and delivers files using hypertext transfer protocol, the language of the internet.
Contact us via phone (435-753-2342) or email (info@campbellsci.com) and we will forward your questions to an applications engineer that can help you choose the best antenna for your system. You will need to provide information about your measurement system, such as datalogger, power supply, and telemetry preferences. Depending on the system, you will be asked about the distance between measurement stations, type of topography, location of each station, or to provide maps of the measurement area.
