Overview

Note: Although the CR5000 is a retired product, the same performance can be achieved using a CR6 Measurement and Control Datalogger with a CDM-A116 (16-Channel 5 V Analog Input Module).

The CR5000 is a rugged, high-performance data-acquisition system with built-in keyboard, graphics display, and PCMCIA card slot. It combines 16-bit resolution with a maximum throughput of 5000 measurements per second. It has many input channels and can measure a large number of sensors. This makes the CR5000 a key part of automotive, structural, and high-speed environmental applications.

Key Advantages

High-Performance Data Logger
5,000 Hz aggregate throughput, 20 differential channels, built-in keyboard and display

Technical Description

The CR5000 typically includes an integrated 7-Ahr rechargeable power supply, but a no battery base option is also offered if a user-supplied power supply is preferred. This data logger has a 128 x 64 pixel backlit graphical or eight-line numeric display, and a 16-character keyboard for on-site control. Its on-board PCMCIA card slot allows the CR5000 to store data on a Type I, Type II, or Type III PCMCIA card, or on a CompactFlash® card if an adapter is used.

The CR5000's operating system includes measurement, processing, and output instructions for programming the data logger. The programming language, CRBasic, uses a BASIC-like syntax. Measurement instructions specific to bridge configurations, voltage outputs, thermocouples, and pulse/frequency signals are included. Processing instructions support algebraic, statistical, and transcendental functions for on-site processing. Output instructions process data over time and control external devices. These instructions include averages, maximums, minimums, standard deviations, histograms, rainflow histograms, level crossings, and Fast Fourier Transfers (FFTs).

Benefits

High throughput makes the CR5000 a powerful tool for demanding configurations.
Ideal applications include eddy covariance, Bowen ratio, weather stations, vehicle testing, HVAC, process monitoring and control, structural or fatigue analysis, machinery testing, energy management and conservation
Integrated keyboard and display screen let you program, manually initiate data transfers, and view data, all on site.
Integrated PCMCIA slot accepts memory cards up to 2 GB for stand-alone data collecting.
Includes a current excitation channel allowing direct connection of PRTs or other sensors that use a current excitation
Compatible with channel expansion peripherals allowing you to expand your system
Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) protected inputs
Battery-backed clock that ensures accurate time is maintained while data logger is disconnected from battery power
Collects and stores data and controls peripherals as the brain of your system

Compatibility

Sensors

With several channel types, the CR5000 is compatible with nearly every available sensor, including thermocouples, SDI-12 sensors, and 4 to 20 mA sensors.

Measurement & Control Peripherals

The CR5000 is compatible with our multiplexers, vibrating-wire interfaces, terminal input modules, relays, and most of our SDMs.

Communications

The CR5000 communicates with a PC via direct connect, NL100 Ethernet interface, multidrop modems, short-haul modems, phone modems (land line and digital cellular), RF telemetry, and GOES satellite transmitter. Data can be viewed on its on-board keyboard display.

Storage capacity can be increased by using a PC or CompactFlash card. The CR5000's PCMCIA card slot supports one Type I, Type II, or Type III PC Card or the CF1 adapter and one CompactFlash (CF) card.

The storage capacity of Type II cards exceeds 1 GB. Type III cards provide data storage capacities exceeding 1 GB but may not be suitable for all environments. Campbell Scientific offers CF cards that store up to 2 GB of data. Please note that the PCMCIA and CompactFlash cards need to be industrial-grade and have a storage capacity of 2 GB or less.

Power Supplies

The CR5000 is often powered by its on-board rechargeable power supply (see Ordering Info). When the rechargeable power supply is used, its internal 7-Ahr sealed rechargeable battery needs be charged via a vehicle (requires the DCDC18R), solar panel, or ac wall charger.

The CR5000 can also come with a low-profile base that requires a user-supplied dc source. It is preferred when the system’s power consumption needs a larger capacity battery or when it’s advantageous to have a thinner, lighter data logger.
