1. Introduction
1.1 HELLO
Whether in extreme cold in Antarctica, scorching heat in Death Valley, salt spray
from the Pacific, micro-gravity in space, or the harsh environment of your office,
Campbell Scientific dataloggers support research and operations all over the
world. Our customers work a spectrum of applications, from those more complex
than any of us imagined, to those simpler than any of us thought practical. The
limits of the CR1000 are defined by our customers. Our intent with this operator's
manual is to guide you to the tools you need to explore the limits of your
application.
You can take advantage of the advanced CR1000 analog and digital measurement
features by spending a few minutes working through the System Quickstart
(p. 41)
and the System Overview (p. 61). For more demanding applications, the remainder
of the manual and other Campbell Scientific publications are available. If you are
programming with CRBasic, you will need the extensive help available with the
CRBasic Editor software. Formal CR1000 training is also available from
Campbell Scientific.
This manual is organized to take you progressively deeper into the complexity of
CR1000 functions. You may not find it necessary to progress beyond the System
Quickstart
(p. 41) or System Overview (p. 61) sections. Quickstart Tutorial (p. 41) gives
a cursory view of CR1000 data-acquisition and walks you through a first attempt
at data-acquisition. System Overview
(p. 61) reviews salient topics that are covered
in-depth in subsequent sections and appendices.
Review the exhaustive table of contents to learn how the manual is organized,
and, when looking for a topic, use the index and PDF reader search.
More in-depth study requires other Campbell Scientific publications, most of
which are available on-line at www.campbellsci.com. Generally, if a particular
feature of the CR1000 requires a peripheral hardware device, more information is
available in the manual written for that device.
If you are unable to find the information you need, need assistance with ordering,
or just wish to speak with one of our many product experts about your application,
please call us at (435) 227-9100 or email support@campbellsci.com. In earlier
days, Campbell Scientific dataloggers greeted our customers with a cheery
HELLO at the flip of the ON switch. While the user interface of the CR1000
datalogger has advanced beyond those simpler days, you can still hear the cheery
HELLO echoed in the voices you hear at Campbell Scientific.
1.2 Typography
The following type faces are used throughout the CR1000 Operator's Manual.

manual:

only in a draft or a preliminary released version.
• Capitalization — beginning of sentences, phrases, titles, names, Campbell
Scientific product model numbers.
