The DCP100 has been reconfig-
ured to include Campbell
Scientific’s state-of-the-art High
Data Rate Transmitter, the SAT
HDR GOES (cover story). The
DCP100 combines the measure-
ment and control capabilities of
our dataloggers with the broad
geographic coverage afforded by
GOES (Geostationary Operational
Environmental Satellite) telemetry.
With an operating temperature
range of -40° to +60°C, the
DCP100 is a rugged, reliable sys-
tem even in extreme, remote envi-
ronments. Federal, state, or local
government agencies in the US, or
users sponsored by one of those
agencies, may use GOES.
Potential GOES users must
receive formal permission from
NESDIS.
Campbell Scientific systems
have been configurable as Data
Collection Platforms (DCPs) for
many years. The DCP100 com-
bines the necessary components
into a single compact package to
make configuring your DCP sys-
tem as easy as 1-2-3. 1) Specify a
Campbell Scientific DCP100;
2) choose a datalogger option; and
3) choose a power supply option.
There is no need to specify a
transmitter, antenna, enclosure, or
battery charger; all are included in
the DCP100.
If you already have a Campbell
CR510, CR10X or CR23X, we can
build a DCP100 around your data-
logger. For more information,
please contact one of our applica-
tions engineers. !!

Typically, a satellite telemetry system includes an environ-
mental enclosure that houses a datalogger, power supply,
cabling, and transmitter. A storage module is also shown.
The Trimble Navigation model
SV8PLUS GPS receiver is available as
a standard product on our 2001 price
lists. The SV8 receives signals from
orbiting satellites in the Geographic
Positioning System, then calculates its
location on the Earth’s surface, and out-
puts a data stream to the datalogger via
an RS-232 port.
The SV8 can receive up to eight
channels of GPS data; number of chan-
nels received at any particular point in
time depends on the number of satellites
"viewable" above the horizon. The
receiver can also support differential
correction.
The SV8 is factory set to output data
at 1200 bps, allowing the CR10X to
input the GPS data directly via its con-
trol ports and Program Instruction 15
(P15). GPS time, position, and velocity
information can be monitored. P15 can
also be used to turn the GPS on and off,
thus reducing the power budget when
GPS data are not needed.
The datalogger time can be set to
match the GPS time or local time with
the accuracy of the GPS signal. The
SV8 also provides a timing pulse at one
second intervals. The timing pulses are
extremely accurate and can be used to
synchronize time between several
instrumentation sites even when they
are separated by a great distance.
The standard SV8 includes an active
patch magnetic mount antenna, mount-
ing bracket, power cable and RS-232-to-
control port communication cable. !!
SC532A peripheral
interface proves
multifunctional
The SC532A interfaces Campbell
Scientific peripherals to the serial port of
a PC. The SC532A has three basic func-
tions and an internal jumper; the jumper
setting determines how the SC532A
works. The SC532A can interface the
PC to:
1) Our SM4M, SM16M, SM716, and
SM192 Storage Modules. In this case,
data and datalogger programs can be
transferred in either direction (use factory
jumper setting).
2) A COM200 telephone modem to
use as a calling modem.
3) A SAT ARGOS or SAT SCD/
ARGOS or transmitter. Typically used
to preprogram the transmitter while
in the office (set jumper to program
position).
The SC532A is a direct replacement
for the SC532. Major changes include the
additional functionality referenced above,
a smaller size, and a 9-pin serial port as
opposed to a 25-pin serial port.
Also, the power cable/ac adapter is no
longer an integrated part of the product,
allowing the SC532A to be powered by
a removable ac adapter or connected to
battery power via an optional field cable
(part number 14020) that plugs into a
datalogger CS I/O port. !
The SV8PLUS receives satellite signals, calculates its location on Earth, and
outputs a data stream to a Campbell Scientific datalogger.
