Overview

The CFM100 stores the datalogger's data on a removable CompactFlash (CF) card. The CFM100/CF card combination can be used to expand the datalogger's memory, transport data/programs from the field site(s) to the office, and upload power up functions. The module connects to the 40-pin peripheral port on a CR1000 or CR3000 datalogger.

Detailed Description

The CFM100 includes a card slot that can fit one Type I or Type II CF card. Only industrial-grade CF cards should be used with our products. Although consumer-grade cards cost less than industrial-grade cards, the consumer-grade cards are more susceptible to failure resulting in both the loss of the card and its stored data. Industrial-grade cards also function over wider temperature ranges and have longer life spans than consumer-grade cards.

Data stored on the card can be retrieved either by removing the card and carrying it to a computer or through a communications link with the datalogger. The computer can read the CF card either with the computer’s PCMCIA slot and the CF1 adapter or the computer’s USB port and the 17752 Reader/Writer.

CardConvert is used to convert and save binary data from a CompactFlash card. CardConvert is included in our PC200W, PC400, LoggerNet, and RTDAQ datalogger support software.

Additional Compatibility Information

CompactFlash (CF) Cards

Campbell Scientific offers and recommends several CF cards (see Ordering tab). These cards have passed Campbell Scientific's ESD testing and operate properly with our data loggers.

Only industrial-grade CF card should be used with our products. Although consumer-grade cards cost less than industrial-grade cards, the consumer-grade cards are more susceptible to failure resulting in both the loss of the card and its stored data. Industrial-grade cards also function over wider temperature ranges and have longer life spans than consumer-grade cards.

Data Retrieval

Data stored on the card can be retrieved either through a communications link with the data logger or by removing the card and carrying it to a computer. The computer can read the CF card either with the computer's PCMCIA slot and the CF1 adapter or the computer's USB port and the 17752 Reader/Writer.

Data Logger Considerations

The CFM100 fastens onto the data logger's 40-pin peripheral port. This means that the CFM100 is only compatible with the CR1000 and CR3000. It is NOT compatible with the CR800, CR850, CR200X, CR5000, or CR9000X dataloggers.

To read cards with more than 2 GB of storage, the data logger operating system must be OS 25 or later.
