A second prompt lists sensor support options. Campbell Scientific, Inc. (US) is usually
the best fit outside of Europe.
To change the noise rejection or sensor support option for future programs, use the
Program menu.
4. Lists of Available Sensors and Devices and Selected Measurements Available for Output are
displayed. Battery voltage BattV and internal temperature PTemp_C are selected by
default. During operation, battery and temperature should be recorded at least daily to
assist in monitoring system status.
5. Use the Search feature or expand folders to locate your sensor or device. Double-click on a
sensor or measurement in the Available Sensors and Devices list to configure the device (if
needed) and add it to the Selected list. For the example program, expand the Sensors and
Temperature folders and double-click Type T Thermocouple.
6. If the sensor or device requires configuration, a window displays with configuration
options. Click Help at the bottom of the window to learn more about any field or option.
For the example program, accept the default options:
1 Type T TC sensor
l
Temp_C as the Temperature label, and set the units to Deg C
l
PTemp_C as the Reference Temperature Measurement

7. Click the Wiring tab at the top of the page to see how to wire the sensor to the data logger.
With the power disconnected from the data logger, insert the wires as directed in the
diagram. Ensure you clamp the terminal on the wire, not the colored insulation. Use the
included flat-blade screwdriver to open and close the terminals.
8. Click OK.
9. Click Next.
10. Use the Output Setup options to specify how often to make measurements and how often
outputs are to be stored. Type 1 in the How often should the data logger measure its
sensor(s)? box. Leave the units as Seconds.
11. Multiple output intervals can be specified, one for each output table (Table1 and Table2
tabs). For the example program, only one table is needed. Click the Table2 tab and click
Delete Table.
12. In the Table Name box, type a name for the table. For example: OneMin.
13. Select a Data Output Storage Interval. For example: 1 minute.
