CR5000

OBSOLETE Measurement & Control System with 2M RAM Memory (Operating Range -25 to + 50C; without base)

Note: Although the CR5000 is a retired product, the same performance can be achieved using a CR6 Measurement and Control Datalogger with a CDM-A116 (16-Channel 5 V Analog Input Module). 

The CR5000 is a rugged, high-performance data-acquisition system with built-in keyboard, graphics display, and PCMCIA card slot. It combines 16-bit resolution with a maximum throughput of 5000 measurements per second. It has many input channels and can measure a large number of sensors. This makes the CR5000 a key part of automotive, structural, and high-speed environmental applications.

High-Performance Data Logger
5,000 Hz aggregate throughput, 20 differential channels, built-in keyboard and display

The CR5000 typically includes an integrated 7-Ahr rechargeable power supply, but a no battery base option is also offered if a user-supplied power supply is preferred. This data logger has a 128 x 64 pixel backlit graphical or eight-line numeric display, and a 16-character keyboard for on-site control. Its on-board PCMCIA card slot allows the CR5000 to store data on a Type I, Type II, or Type III PCMCIA card, or on a CompactFlash® card if an adapter is used.

The CR5000's operating system includes measurement, processing, and output instructions for programming the data logger. The programming language, CRBasic, uses a BASIC-like syntax. Measurement instructions specific to bridge configurations, voltage outputs, thermocouples, and pulse/frequency signals are included. Processing instructions support algebraic, statistical, and transcendental functions for on-site processing. Output instructions process data over time and control external devices. These instructions include averages, maximums, minimums, standard deviations, histograms, rainflow histograms, level crossings, and Fast Fourier Transfers (FFTs).
