8.3 Electrically noisy environments

EMF noise emanating from the ac mains power grid can be a significant source of measurement
error. 60 Hz noise is common in the United States. 50 Hz noise is common in Europe and other
regions. This noise can usually be filtered out.
The following code snip examples filter 60 Hz noise.
CR6-series data logger example:
Therm108(T108_C,1,U1,U10,0,60,1.0,0.0)
CR800-series and CR3000 data loggers example:
Therm108(T108_C,1,1,Vx1,0,_60Hz,1.0,0.0)

8.4 Long cable lengths

Long cable lengths (>50 ft) may require longer than normal analogue measurement settling
times. Enter a longer settling time in the SettlingTime parameter of the
instruction. Campbell Scientific suggests doubling the settling time every 50 ft. The following
code snip examples increase settling time by 20000 µs by placing 20000 as the argument in the
SettlingTime parameter:
CR6-series data logger example:
Therm108(T108_C,1,U1,U10,20000,60,1.0,0.0)
CR800-series and CR3000 data loggers example:
Therm108(T108_C,1,1,1,20000,_60Hz,1.0,0.0)
