7.3.2 253 Program Examples
7.3.2.1 Program Example #3 — Five 107 Temperature Probes and Five 253’s on AM16/32
and CR1000
The following example demonstrates the programming used to measure five
107 temperature probes and five 253 sensors on an AM16/32 multiplexer
(4x16 mode) with the CR1000 datalogger. In this example, a 107 temperature
probe is buried at the same depth as a corresponding 253 sensor. The linear
equation is used and the non-linear equation is included in the program notes.
To use the non-linear equation, remove the linear equation from the program
and uncomment the non-linear equation. Voltage range codes for other
CRBasic dataloggers are shown in TABLE 7-1. Sensor wiring is shown in
TABLE 7-7.
