    7.1 Wiring The BaroVUE 10 does not support communications through SDI-12 and RS-232 simultaneously. The data logger connects to the BaroVUE 10 with a 5-pin screw terminal plug connector. This connector is removable and may be replaced. FIGURE 7-1. 5-pin screw terminal plug connector and connections...

  • Page 12: Sdi-12 Data Logger Connections

    U and C terminals are automatically configured by the measurement instruction. If multiple SDI-12 sensors are connected to a data logger, Campbell Scientific recommends using separate terminals when possible. However, multiple SDI-12 sensors can connect to the same data logger control or U terminal.

  • Page 13: Programming

    7.2 Programming Short Cut is the best source for up-to-date programming code for Campbell Scientific data loggers. 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: Typical Mounting

    To prevent condensation, install the sensor in an environmentally protected enclosure, complete with desiccant. Change desiccant at regular intervals. The BaroVUE 10 is typically mounted in a Campbell Scientific enclosure next to the data logger. Secure the BaroVUE 10 to an enclosure backplate by inserting screws through the mounting holes in the BaroVUE 10 and into the grommets.

    As measurement data is transferred between the BaroVUE 10 and data logger digitally, there are no offset errors incurred with increasing cable length as seen with analog sensors. However, with increasing cable length, there is still a point when digital communications break down, resulting in either no response or excessive SDI-12 retries and incorrect data due to noise problems.

  • Page 20: Quality Metric

      8.3 Quality metric For each pressure value, the BaroVUE 10 can output a number known as the quality metric (QM). The QM indicates the quality in the pressure measurement. For more information about the QM, refer to the following table.
