Introducing the CR200X Data Loggers

In December 2009, Campbell Scientific replaced the CR200-series data loggers with the CR200X-series data loggers. The new data loggers feature expanded memory for the program and operating system (OS). The expanded memory allows:

• Up to 128 public variables instead of 48
• Up to eight tables instead of four
• Compiled CRBasic programs that are two times larger
• All CR200X instructions to be included in one standard OS

Like their predecessors, the CR200X-series data loggers are small, lower-cost devices. Their single-ended input-channel configuration is optimal for measuring one or two sensors. Three of the models include internal spread-spectrum radios, allowing them to be part of a wireless sensor network.

CR200X Models

• CR200X—Base model
• CR206X—Includes internal 915 MHz spread-spectrum radio (US and Canada) that transmits data to another CR206(X) data logger, an RF401 radio, or an RF430 radio  
• CR211X—Includes internal 922 MHz spread-spectrum radio (Australia and Israel) that transmits data to another CR211(X) data logger, an RF411 radio, or an RF431 radio  
• CR216X—Includes internal 2.4 GHz spread-spectrum radio that transmits data to another CR216(X) data logger, an RF416 radio, or an RF432 radio
• CR295X—Used with the TX312 HDR GOES satellite transmitter
