    DR2 Radius Dendrometer Campbell Data Logger (CR1000) The dendrometer can be measured both in single-ended voltage as well as differential voltage mode. Differential voltage mode provides better accuracy. But single-ended mode requires half as many channels as differential mode. One CR1000 can include 16 den- drometers in single-ended mode, but only 8 dendrometers in differential mode.
  • Page 5: Technical Specification

    DR2 Radius Dendrometer When the sensor is correctly installed, it will function under outdoor conditions without the need for further maintenance. Depending on the growth rate of the tree, the sensor should be reset after some months or years of measurements. When the output approaches 25 mm, the sensor needs to be reset.
