DCP200

GOES Data Collection Platform


Campbell Scientific's DCP200 is a Data Collection Platform (DCP) designed specifically for stream stage, water quality, and rainfall applications.

The DCP200 system measures the sensors, processes the measurements, then transmits the data to a receiving station via the GOES system. It consists of our CR295 datalogger, TX312 HDR GOES satellite transmitter, ENC16/18 enclosure, power supply, and software. The TX312 transmitter supports data transmission rates of 100, 300, and 1200 bps. Because clock accuracy is critically important for GOES satellite telemetry, the TX312 includes a robust, TCXO-based real-time clock and a GPS receiver.
