Kipp and Zonen CGR 4 to CSI CR1000


kennaster Jul 1, 2009 10:26 PM

Hello,
I am looking for a data logger program for basic communication and wiring between a K&Z CGR 4 and a CR1000 CSI data logger.

Thank you for your attention

Here is the program for CR1000

'CR1000 Series Datalogger

'*** Wiring ***

'ANALOG INPUT
'1H long-wave pyranometer sensor signal (red)
'1L long-wave pyranometer sensor signal reference (blue)
'gnd long-wave pyranometer sensor signal sheild (black)

'2H long-wave pyranometer sensor thermistor resistor Signal (green)
' 10K ohm resistor signal
'gnd 10K ohm resistor signal reference

'VOLTAGE EXCITATION
'EX1 long-wave pyranometer sensor thermistor resistor Excitation (yellow)


'*** Constants ***

'CGR4's sensitivity
Const CGR4_Sen = 13.52*10^-3 'mV/W/m^2, your CGR4's sensitivity on its body

'calculation for the temperature from thermistor resistor in CGR4
Const a = 1.03*10^-3
Const b = 2.38*10^-4
Const c = 1.59*10^-7

'10K ohm resistors' impedance
Const R = 10000


'*** Variables ***

Public PTemp, batt_volt

Public Rad_cgr4
Public Rad_cgr_4_tot_MJ

Dim un_cal_cgr4

Dim thermistor_cgr4

Dim T_cgr4

Dim temp_cgr4

'*** Final Output Data Tables ***

'Half Hour Data Table
DataTable (Half_Hour,1,-1)
DataInterval (0,30,Min,10)

EndTable

'Daily Data Table

Nice! Thanks a lot for posting this. A CSI engineer also worked one up for me and should either post it here or in one of their other web locations. His is slightly different but I bet the resulting outcome is the same. Thanks again for the reply.

'2H long-wave pyranometer sensor thermistor resistor Signal (green)
' 10K ohm resistor signal
'gnd 10K ohm resistor signal reference

do I need to add a 10k resistor?

Thank you
