Campbell Scientific DCP100 GOES Data Collection Platform - Manual (Page 3)

WARNINGS FOR DCP100 USERS
1. The datalogger operating system must be compatible for use with the TGT-1. CR10X dataloggers
must have version 1.6 or later. All CR510 datalogger operating systems are compatible with the
DCP100. CR500 dataloggers need version 1.4 or later. CR23X dataloggers should have version
1.4 or later. CR10 and 21X dataloggers require a special PROM. CR10 PROM is item number
8131-00, 21X PROM is item number 8132-04. Check *B mode for operating system version. If you
did not purchase the TGT-1 and datalogger together, make sure you have the latest operating
system. Contact a Campbell Scientific Applications Engineer if you have any questions.
2. The datalogger clock must be set to Coordinated Universal Time. All references to time are based
on Coordinated Universal Time.
3. If you are using the keypad (CR10KD) when the datalogger initiates a P120 or P123 instruction, the
instruction will fail without reporting a failure.
4. Due to atmospheric interference and other sources of error, it is possible for a data transmission to
be missed by the ground station. If this happens, your missed data is still in the datalogger until
overwritten by new data.
5. The antenna must be connected before transmission or the transmitter will be damaged.
