Options for data storage besides a card?


LATR Apr 23, 2010 08:23 AM

CR1000 manual suggest DSP4, and GOESData functions as alternatives to store data besides a card. In loggernet there is not further reference for DSP4; I followed the instructions for the use of GOESData (see code below) but I wasn't successful. Can somebody please post an example of the use of those instructions and what are the devices needed to use the GOES functionality?

Thank you very much!


'CR1000

' The following sample program makes a few simple measurements of leaf wetness sensor and store them in the table named LWS.

The GOESData instruction is something that is only used if you have a satellite data transmitter.

If you are looking for alternatives to using an NL115 or CFM100 and storing data to a card, you might want to look at our SC115. It works with any of our dataloggers that has a CS I/O port:
