5.1 Datalogger — Overview
The CR800 datalogger is the main part of the system. It is a precision instrument
designed to withstand demanding environments and to use the smallest amount of
power possible. It has a central-processing unit (CPU), analog and digital
measurement inputs, analog and digital outputs, and memory. An operating
system (firmware) coordinates the functions of these parts in conjunction with the
on-board clock and the CRBasic application program.
