Event Description

This two day introductory training course will teach you the fundamentals of programming Campbell Scientific dataloggers, specifically the CR1000X and table based dataloggers using LoggerNet with CRBasic.

The course is hand’s on and includes practical exercises designed to reinforce the core concepts covered; the class size is limited to six to enable full support to be given to all attendees.

Day one of the course provides a good introduction to using LoggerNet to administer, program and collect data from Campbell’s most popular dataloggers.

Day two of the course will teach you how to customise a datalogger program to suit different sensor and data storage requirements.

Lunch and training materials will be provided. The course runs from 09:00 - 17:00 on both days.

Accommodation and travel is not included.

Software (LoggerNet) will be provided, on our training PCs for the duration of the training course. To continue to use LoggerNet you will need to purchase a license once you have completed the training.
