If damage to the cable is suspected, contact Campbell Scientific. Although the CS310 is rugged, it should be handled as a precision scientific instrument. Keep the sensor clean. The vertical edge of the diffuser must be kept clean to maintain appropriate cosine correction.
3. Initial inspection Upon receipt of the CS310, inspect the packaging and contents for damage. File damage claims with the shipping company. The model number and cable length are printed on a label at the connection end of the cable. Check this information against the shipping documents to ensure the correct product and cable length are received.

LoggerNet, RTDAQ, or PC400 to make sure it is making reasonable measurements. NOTE: Short Cut uses the execution interval to make total flux calculations (Table 7-2 (p. 10)). This needs to be taken into account while editing the Short Cut program. CS310 Quantum Sensor 4...
(transmitted) PPFD measurement in the same environments. Measures photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) in both natural and artificial light. Compatible with Campbell Scientific CRBasic data loggers: CR6, CR3000, CR1000X, CR800- series, CR300-series, CR1000 6. Specifications Stability: <...
NOTE: You can also use a CM225 or 015ARM to mount the CS310 to a tripod or tower. However, a leveling base is required. The installation procedure for using the CM225 and 015ARM mounts is available in an older manual at www.campbellsci.com/old-manuals.

1. Mount the crossarm to the tripod or tower if using one. 2. Secure the CS310 to the CM226 3. Place the screws, plate, washers, lock washers, and wing nuts in the side holes if using a vertical pipe or in the bottom holes if using a crossarm.
U terminals are automatically configured by the measurement instruction. 7.4 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.
Example programs (p. 16). Output from the CS310 is a voltage ranging from 0 to a maximum of 20 mV depending on sensor calibration and radiation level, which is measured by the data logger by using a differential analogue input terminal. To measure the output, CRBasic data loggers are programmed with the VoltSE() instruction.
1966; Ross and Sulev, 2000). Spectral errors for PPFD measurements made under different radiation sources were calculated for the CS310 quantum sensor using the method of Federer and Tanner (1966). This method requires PPFD weighting factors (defined plant photosynthetic response), measured sensor...
Symptom: –9999 or NAN or radiation values around 0 1. Check that the sensor is wired to the single-ended terminal specified by the measurement instruction. 2. Verify that the range code is correct for the data logger type. CS310 Quantum Sensor 12...
8.2.2 Cable replacement Replacement cables are available from Campbell Scientific. When reconnecting your sensor, arrows on the connector jacket and an aligning notch ensure proper orientation. When disconnecting the sensor for an extended period of time, protect the remaining half of the connector still on the station from water and dirt with electrical tape or another method.
8.3 Calibration Recalibrate the CS310 every two years. When sending sensors in for calibration, only send the short end of the cable and half the connector. Refer to the Assistance page at the back of this document for the process of returning the quantum sensor to Campbell Scientific for recalibration.
Block. This adds an apostrophe (') to the beginning of each of the highlighted lines, which instructs the data logger compiler to ignore those lines when compiling. The Comment Block feature is demonstrated at about 5:10 in the CRBasic | Features video CS310 Quantum Sensor 15...
Appendix B. Example programs The example programs measure the CS310 every 10 s, and converts the mV output to µmol/m and mmol/m . It outputs an hourly average flux (µmol/m /s) and a daily total flux density (mmol/m Wiring for the examples is given in Table B-1 (p.
