    Care should be taken when opening the shipping package to not damage or • cut the cable jacket. If the cable is damaged, contact Campbell Scientific. • Although the CS310 is rugged, it should be handled as a precision scientific instrument.

  • Page 8: Quickstart

    CS310 Quantum Sensor QuickStart A video that describes data logger programming using Short Cut is available at: www.campbellsci.com/videos/cr1000x-datalogger-getting-started-program- part-3. Short Cut is an easy way to program a data logger to measure the CS310 and assign data logger wiring terminals. Short Cut is available as a download on www.campbellsci.com.
  • Page 9 CS310 Quantum Sensor Repeat steps three and four for other sensors. In Output Setup, type the scan rate, meaningful table names, and the Data Output Storage Interval. Select the measurement and its associated output option, typically Average for the solar radiation measurement. Select Total for the PAR total measurement.

  • Page 12: Mounting Procedure

    CS310 Quantum Sensor Mounting Procedure The CS310 mounts to a tripod or tower using the CM226 Solar Sensor Stand, which integrates leveling and mounting hardware into one mount. NOTE You can also use a CM225 or 015ARM to mount the CS310 to a tripod or tower.

  • Page 13: Wiring

    Ground/G FIGURE 7-1. CS310 schematic Connections to Campbell Scientific data loggers are given in TABLE 7-1. When Short Cut is used to create the data logger program, the sensor should be wired to the terminals shown in the wiring diagram created by Short Cut.

  • Page 14: Programming

    CS310 Quantum Sensor Programming Short Cut is the best source for up-to-date data logger programming code. If your data acquisition requirements are simple, you can probably create and maintain a data logger program exclusively with Short Cut. If your data acquisition needs are more complex, the files that Short Cut creates are a great source for programming code to start a new program or add to an existing custom program.

  • Page 15: Output Format Considerations

    CS310 Quantum Sensor Output Format Considerations If solar radiation is totalized in units of mmol/m , there is a possibility of overranging the output limits. For CRBasic data loggers, avoid this by using the IEEE4 or long data format. The disadvantage of the high-resolution formats is that it takes more memory per data point.

    Appendix A. Importing Short Cut Code Into CRBasic Editor Short Cut creates a .DEF file that contains wiring information and a program file that can be imported into the CRBasic Editor. By default, these files reside in the C:\campbellsci\SCWin folder. Import Short Cut program file and wiring information into CRBasic Editor: Create the Short Cut program.
