CR6 Measurement and Control Datalogger

The CR6-series measurement and control datalogger is a powerful core component for your data-acquisition system. We combined the best features of all our dataloggers and added faster commu­nications, low power requirements, built in USB, compact size, and improved analog input accuracy and resolution.

The CR6 series also introduces our new universal (U) terminal—an ingenious way for al­lowing virtually any sensor (analog, digital, or smart) to be connected to any U terminal. This is also our first multipurpose datalogger capable of doing static vibrating-wire measurements.

Benefits and Features

l  Powerfully versatile, multi-tool of data acquisition

l  U terminals configurable to what you want them to be: analog or digital, input, or output

l  Static vibrating wire measurements using our patented spectral analysis

l  Surge ESD and over-voltage protection on all terminals

l  Flexible power input from solar panel, dc power supply, 12 V battery, USB

l  Onboard communication options include Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and spread spectrum radios

l  CR6-WIFI ideal for short-range, wireless IP communication

l  CR6-RF407/412/422/427 ideal for low power medium range license-free radio communication
