Getting started

Getting Startedprovides a cursory view of data acquisition and walks you through a procedure to set up a simple system. You may not find it necessary to progress beyond this. However, should you want to dig deeper into the complexity of the data logger functions or quickly look for details, extensive information is available throughout thismanual.

This exercise guides you through the following steps:

• Connecting the data logger to a computer
• Attaching a sensor to the data logger
• 创建一个程序的数据记录器来衡量the sensor
• Making a simple measurement
• Storing measurement data on the data logger
• Collecting data from the data logger with a computer
• Viewing real-time and historical data with a computer

In addition to your data logger, the following items are used in this exercise (many are shipped with your data logger and all are available onwww.ocbeachreo.com).

• Type-T Thermocouple, 4 to 5 inches long; one is shipped with the data logger
• Computer with a USB port
• USB cable
• Data logger support softwareLoggerNet, RTDAQ, and PC400 - these Campbell Scientific software applications include at least the following functions: data logger communications, downloading programs, clock setting, and retrieval of measurement data.such asLoggerNet ,RTDAQ,orPC400installed on your computer

Additional Campbell Scientific publications are available online atwww.ocbeachreo.com. Video tutorials are available atwww.ocbeachreo.com/videos. Generally, if a particular feature of the data logger requires a peripheral hardware device, more information is available in the help or manual written for that device.
