10.12.1 GOES

The CR295 and CR295X dataloggers support communication through Campbell

Scientific’s TX312 or HDR GOES satellite transmitters. The CR295(X) has an

extra 9-pin serial port. The CR295 requires a special operating system and does

not support radio telemetry or calculation of evapotranspiration and is not CE

compliant. The CR295X has the same operating system and expanded

capabilities as other CR200(X) series dataloggers.

CRBASIC instructions used by the CR295(X) are:

GOESData

Sends data to a CSI GOES satellite data transmitter.

Syntax

GOESData (Dest, Table, TableOption, BufferControl,

DataFormat)

GOESGPS

Stores GPS data from the satellite into two variable arrays.

Syntax

GOESGPS (GoesArray1(6), GoesArray2(7))

GOESSetup

Programs the GOES transmitter for communication with the satellite.

Syntax

GOESSetup (ResultCode, PlatformID, MsgWindow,

STChannel, STBaud, RChannel, RBaud, STInterval,

STOffset, RInterval)

GOESStatus

Requests status and diagnostic information from a CSI GOES satellite

transmitter.

Syntax

GOESStatus (Dest, StatusCommand)
