Overview
The CR23X Micrologger® was a portable, self-contained package that could store over 1,000,000 data points. It consisted of measurement and control electronics, communication ports, keyboard, 2-line alphanumeric display, power supply, and a battery-backed clock. The CR23X measured most sensor types directly, communicated via modems, reduced data, controlled external devices, and stored both data and programs in either non-volatile Flash memory or battery-backed SRAM.

Detailed Description
The CR23X is a self-contained, rugged data logger that can measure most sensor types directly, communicate via modems, reduce data, control external devices, and store both data and programs in either non-volatile Flash memory or battery-backed SRAM.
The CR23X has an integral, 2-line, alphanumeric display and power supply. A battery-backed, real-time clock and 2M of nonvolatile data storage is included. The CR23Xs are available with a sealed rechargeable battery base, an alkaline base, or in a low-profile version without batteries.
Compatibility
A typical field-based CR23X system consisted of:
- CR23X Micrologger with specified Operating System and Alkaline, Rechargeable, or User-Supplied Power Supply
- Weatherproof Enclosure
- Communications Peripheral(s)
- Programming and Communications Software
- Sensors
- Data retrieval peripherals

Frequently Asked Questions
Number of FAQs related to CR23X: 2
-
Look for a stamp on top of the battery. The stamp may be in a date format of YYMMDDXX where:
- YY is the year.
- MM is the month.
- DD is the day.
- XX is the manufacturing plant.
This indicates the age of the battery.

A practical maximum is to connect one multiplexer per every two control terminals on the data logger. Control terminals can be shared between multiplexers to increase the number of connected multiplexers. Sharing terminals, however, requires more complex wiring and programming. Users who would like to connect more than one multiplexer per every two control terminals are advised to contact a sales or support engineer at Campbell Scientific for assistance.
