Example programs
9.4.1 Scan buffers
When TEMP 120 instructions are included in a program, Campbell Scientific recommends setting
the BufferOption of the
worth of scans. For example, if the scan rate is 50 ms (.05 s), set the BufferOption to 40 (2 s ÷
.05 s = 40). At a minimum, the BufferOption should be set to 3.
The data logger processes the data from the TEMP 120 in batches according to frame syncs
received from the TEMP 120. Upon receiving a batch of data, the data logger puts it into a
processing queue. Processing the data may take more time than is available in a single scan. The
BufferOption allows the data logger to balance its task load by processing the data from the
TEMP 120 during subsequent scans while maintaining correct data time stamps. If a
BufferOption is not set, the data logger will attempt to process all of the data during the scan
it is received, which can result in skipped scans. Scan buffers are only used when the data logger
is running in pipeline mode.
9.4.2 GRANITE Measurement Module instructions
For the most current information on data logger instructions, refer to the
The first two parameters for each CDM instruction are the CDMType and CPI_Addr. CDMType
refers to the GRANITE Measurement Model used; use TEMP120. CPI_Addr is the address of the
TEMP 120. Connect sensors to the terminals specified within the corresponding measurement
instructions. The following program example shows the use of CDM_TCComp().
