Edlog dataloggers are CR10(X), CR510, CR500, CR23X, 21X, and CR7.

8.3 Electrically Noisy Environments

EMF noise emanating from the ac mains power grid can be a significant source

of measurement error. 60 Hz noise is common in the United States. 50 Hz

noise is common in Europe and other regions. Depending on the datalogger

model, this noise can usually be filtered out.

The following code examples filter 60 Hz noise. The key parameters are in

bold type.

8.4 Long Cable Lengths

Long cable lengths may require longer than normal analog measurement

settling times. Settling times are increased by adding a measurement delay to a

datalogger program.

CRBasic

For CRBasic loggers, the 60 Hz and 50 Hz integration options include a 3 ms

settling time; longer settling times also can be entered into the Settling Time

parameter. The following example uses a 20000 µs settling time:
