CPI is a proprietary interface for communications between Campbell
Scientific dataloggers and Campbell Scientific CDM peripheral devices. It

similar to Campbell Scientific SDM devices in concept, but the use of the
CPI bus enables higher data-throughput rates and use of longer cables. CDM
devices require more power to operate in general than do SDM devices.
