E. Check the cable(s) between the serial port and the modem. If cables have

not been purchased through Campbell Scientific, check for the following

configuration using an ohm meter:

F. Make sure the modem is properly configured and cabled (Section 8.3,

Communication and Data Storage Peripherals).

G. If still no response, call Campbell Scientific.

A. Make sure the battery voltage is between 9.6 and 16 Vdc.

B. Verify the sensor is wired to the analog channel specified in the

measurement instruction or Short Cut .FSL file.

C. Make sure the Range parameter in the measurement instruction covers the

full scale voltage output by the sensor.

9.2.4 Unreasonable Results Displayed in a Variable

A. Inspect the sensor for damage and/or contamination.

B. Make sure the sensor is properly wired to the datalogger.

C. Check the multiplier and offset parameters in the measurement

instruction.

10. Standard Software Installation

Software required for a weather station consists of the datalogger program and

a datalogger support software suite for Windows.

10.1 Datalogger Program

The datalogger program operates the weather station. It programs the

datalogger to measure sensors, process the measurements, and store data in the

datalogger’s memory. The datalogger program is most easily created using

Short Cut. A separate manual covers the use of Short Cut in detail.
