DCP100 DATA COLLECTION PLATFORM OPERATOR'S MANUAL 1. INTRODUCTION The DCP100 combines the measurement and control capabilities of Campbell Scientific’s dataloggers with the broad geographic coverage afforded by GOES (Geogstationary Operational Environmental Satellite) telemetry. Satellite telemetry offers a convenient telecommunication alternative for field stations where phone lines or RF systems are impractical.

DCP100 DATA COLLECTION PLATFORM 5. POWER SUPPLIES 5.1 12 AND 24 AHR SEALED RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES Typically, the system is powered with a 12 Volt, 12 AHr sealed rechargeable battery that connects to a charging regulator and a solar panel. The 12 AHr battery lasts 15 to 20 days per charge. A 24 AHr sealed rechargeable battery which lasts 30 to 40 days is available. NOTE: This assumes the data are transmitted for 30 seconds at 3 hour intervals.

DCP100 DATA COLLECTION PLATFORM 8. PROGRAMMING THE TRANSMITTER 8.1 STAR POUND MODE The star/pound (*#) mode is for programming the transmitter. It establishes and edits parameters, displays status information, and performs test transmissions. The *# mode can only be accessed via a keyboard/display (not with a computer). TABLE 8.2-1. *# Parameter's Descriptions Parameter Description 1-3 Set the transmitter's clock. All scheduled operations are referenced to this clock.
DCP100 DATA COLLECTION PLATFORM 18 - 20 Random transmission interval (the NESDIS-assigned time period that the transmission is randomly repeated, minimum interval is 5 minutes). Parameter 18 is hours; 19 is minutes and 20 is seconds. 21 - 23 Set the time of the initial self-timed transmission (NESDIS-assigned). The “initial” time is not the first time but an offset. Self-timed transmissions occur on multiples of the self-timed transmission interval plus the offset.
DCP100 DATA COLLECTION PLATFORM the “A” key is pressed. The active buffer is set using command 7 and 8. 3 Forward power is the first parameter and reflected power is the second (see Section 7). 4 The first parameter displays the number of errors. Parameters 2-9 list the history of errors, where parameter 2 is the most recent (see Section 8.4). 5 Number of bytes in self-timed or random buffer (used after command 6 or 7). 6 Selects self-timed buffer (used before command 5).
DCP100 DATA COLLECTION PLATFORM 9.1.2 Datalogger Programming Theory Campbell Scientific dataloggers are programmed via a keyboard/display or an IBMPC compatible computer running PC208 software. Please see the appropriate datalogger manual for detailed programming information.

APPENDIX F. DATA DUMP DATALOGGER PROGRAM F.1 INTRODUCTION The data dump program inserts 20 data points (60 bytes) into the transmitter's random buffer when user FLAG 1 is manually toggled HIGH. The buffer is cleared when the user FLAG 2 is set HIGH. F.2 TOGGLING USER FLAG 1 HIGH You start by typing in *6AD to enter the FLAG Status Mode. [00:00:00:00] is displayed, indicating user FLAGS 1 through 8 are set low. To toggle user FLAG 1 HIGH, type 1. After the display shows [10:00:00:00], type *0.

With this parameter, you specify the array of data that is transferred to the buffer (see Section 9.2).
APPENDIX G. LOCAL MAGNETIC DECLINATION A general map showing magnetic declination for the contiguous United States is shown in Figure G-1. Magnetic declination for a specific site can be obtained from a USGS map, local airport, or through a computer service offered by the USGS called GEOMAG (recommended). Section G.2 has a listing of the prompts and the declination determined by GEOMAG for a site near Logan, Utah. G.

Expressed in degrees, this would be 15.99 degrees.
APPENDIX H. CHANGING THE CR10'S RAM OR PROM CHIPS This section describes changing the CR10’s PROM, not the CR10X’s. The CR10X already contains the Instructions for the DCP100. straighten it and repeat the installation procedure. H.2.1 CHANGING JUMPERS The CR10 has two sockets for Random Access Memory (RAM) and one socket for Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM). The standard CR10 has 64K of RAM, (a 32K RAM chip in each socket). Earlier CR10s had 16K of RAM (an 8K RAM chip in each socket). H.

APPENDIX I. 21X PROM REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE This appendix covers the procedure for replacing the firmware (PROM) in a Campbell Scientific 21X or 21XL Micrologger. For a nominal fee, Campbell Scientific will install PROMs in 21X(L)s that are returned to the factory; request a Returned Materials Authorization (RMA) from Campbell Scientific. CAUTION: This procedure erases data and programs stored in the 21X or 21XL.

When these Microloggers are upgraded to new software PROMs, you must replace the two 4K chips with five 8K chips (p/n 6264). You may also need to reset two jumpers.
APPENDIX I. 21X PROM REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE 12. Hold the new PROM by either end as shown in Figure I-6. Position the PROM over the sockets with the circular notch on the end of the PROM oriented the same direction as the surrounding PROMs. 84 19 146 6 C No o m lN IteObjs FIGURE I-6. Inserting the New PROM CAUTION: The notch must be on the right side. Inserting the PROM in the wrong direction can damage it. Set the pins of the PROM on the individual sockets and press gently.
