DCP200

GOES Data Collection Platform

The DCP200 is a Data Collection Platform (DCP) designed specifically for stream stage, water quality, and rainfall applications. This system measures the sensors, processes the measurements, then transmits the data to a receiving station via the GOES system.

The DCP200 consists of our CR295 datalogger, TX312 HDR GOES satellite transmitter, 16" x 18" enclosure, power supply, and software.
