Section 5.
Connecting to Campbell Scientific dataloggers
You can record data from the LI-710 on Campbell Scientific® dataloggers that sup-
port the SDI-12 protocol. This tutorial provides the steps and simple programs for
connecting the LI-710 to a CR1000X, CR1000, CR300, CR6, or CR5000 datalogger.
The programs described here will read data from the LI-710 only. If you want to add
the LI-710 to an existing program, the task is more complicated. Campbell Scientific
can provide the technical assistance that is required for modifying datalogger pro-
grams beyond what is described here.
Figure 5-1. The LI-710 is compatible with the CR1000X, CR1000, CR6, and other Camp-
bell Scientific dataloggers that support the SDI-12 protocol.
