The CR1000X is our flagship data logger that provides measurement and control for a wide variety of applications. Its reliability and ruggedness make it an excellent choice for remote environmental applications, including weather stations, mesonet systems, wind profiling, air quality monitoring, hydrological systems, water quality monitoring, and hydrometeorological stations.
The CR1000X is a low-powered device that measures sensors, drives direct communication and telecommunications, analyzes data, controls external devices, and stores data and programs in onboard, nonvolatile storage. The electronics are RF-shielded by a unique sealed, stainless-steel canister. A battery-backed clock assures accurate timekeeping. The onboard, BASIC-like programming language, common to all contemporary Campbell Scientific data loggers, supports data processing and analysis routines.

Detailed Description
The CR1000X is a low-powered device designed to measure sensors, drive direct communication and telecommunications, analyze data, control external devices, and store data and programs in on-board, non-volatile storage. The electronics are RF-shielded and glitch-protected by a unique sealed, stainless-steel canister. A battery-backed clock assures accurate timekeeping. The on-board, BASIC-like programming language—common to all Campbell Scientific data loggers—supports data processing and analysis routines.
The CR1000X wiring panel includes two switchable 12 V terminals, analog grounds dispersed among 16 analog terminals, and unpluggable terminal blocks for quick deployment.
Detailed Description
The CR1000Xe electronics are shielded from radio frequency by a unique, sealed, stainless-steel canister. It includes a low-drift, battery-backed clock that can be updated by NTP, GPS, and Campbell Scientific’s PakBus®. The canister and wiring panel seal together through stainless-steel connectors. The CPI and Ethernet pins are gold coated to resist corrosion. The CR1000Xe is compatible with 12 V- and 24 V-nominal systems. The data logger’s wiring panel regulates 12 V outputs and includes two switchable 12 V outputs on removable terminal blocks and a switchable 12 V output on CS I/O.
