FIGURE 4-1. CMP3-L Schematic 
When Short Cut for Windows software is used to create the datalogger 
program, the sensor should be wired to the channels shown in the wiring 
diagram created by Short Cut. 
A differential voltage measurement is recommended because it has better noise 
rejection than a single-ended measurement. If a differential channel is not 
available, a single-ended measurement can be used. 
Connections to Campbell Scientific dataloggers for a Differential measurement 
are given in Table 4-1. A user supplied jumper wire should be connected 
between the low side of the differential input and ground (AG or 
) to keep 
the signal in common mode range. 
Connections to Campbell Scientific dataloggers for a Single-Ended 
measurement are given in Table 4-2.
