O Atmospheric Profile System

This will relieve further strain on the cable and also minimize air infiltration to

extend the life of the enclosure desiccant packs.

In very humid conditions, it may be helpful to seal the cable

feedthrough with plumber’s putty.

The AP200 stores energy in a capacitor to provide backup power

in the event power is interrupted. The capacitor will power the

datalogger for a few seconds allowing it to finish writing data to

the CF card and close the file to prevent loss of data or damage

to the CF card. Do not attach additional sensors or other devices

that are powered from the datalogger without consulting a

Campbell Scientific applications engineer.

5.4 Configure the Program

The AP200 is shipped with the program

AP200_vx_x.cr1 installed on the

CR1000 datalogger. A copy of the program is found on the AP200 Support

CD (pn 28552) or can be downloaded from

www.campbellsci.com

. The AP200

program uses both constants and variables to customize the behavior of the

system for a particular installation. Constants are used for parameters that

must be determined when the program is compiled and variables are used

otherwise.

Constants are most easily modified using the CRBasic Editor, which is part of

the PC400 and LoggerNet datalogger support software packages. They may

also be edited with a simple text editor and uploaded to the datalogger using
