The CR6 Measurement and Control Datalogger is a powerful core component for your data-acquisition system. The CR6 datalogger provides fast communication, low power requirements, built-in USB, compact size, and high analog input accuracy and resolution. It uses universal (U) terminals to allow a connection to virtually any sensor—analog, digital, or smart. This multipurpose data logger is also capable of doing static vibrating-wire measurements.
The dynamic vibrating-wire measurement technique is protected under U.S. Patent No. 8,671,758, and the vibrating-wire spectral-analysis technology (VSPECT®) is protected under U.S. Patent No. 7,779,690.
- Powerfully versatile—multi-tool of data acquisition
- U terminals configurable to what you want them to be: analog or digital, input or output
- Static vibrating-wire measurements using our patented spectral analysis
- Surge and overvoltage protection on all terminals
- Flexible power input from solar panel, DC power supply, 12 V battery, or USB
- Onboard communication via Ethernet 10/100
- Web server capability, including data display, configuration, diagnostics, and security
- Wiring made easy through removable terminal block
- MicroSD card drive for extended memory requirements
- Support for serial sensors with RS-232 and RS-485 native
- CPI for hosting Campbell high-speed sensors and distributed modules (CDMs)
- Programmable with CRBasic or SCWin program generator, completely PakBus compatible
- Shared operating system (OS) with the popular CRBasic CR1000 and CR3000 dataloggers
