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.
