Just a few of many:  IOD Data Loggers

Presentation to Scripps Technology Forum 15 Dec 2005.
PDF:  Just a few of many: IOD Data Loggers

DL1-Met Environmental Data Logger (2003)

Data logger with MultiMediaCard (MMC) socket and sensor interfaces for Intersema MS5534 Barometric Pressure Sensor, Sensirion SHT-75 Humidity Sensor, two temperature sensors, two anemometers (wind speed and direction), tipping bucket rain gauge, and LI-COR LI-200 Pyranometer.  Logger transmits data over a wireless network via a MaxStream 9XStream Radio Modem.

DL2-Met (2003)

Data logger with MMC socket and sensor interfaces for Paroscientific Digiquartz Barometer, Vaisala HMP-50 Humidity Probe, Eppley Labs Precision Spectral Pyranometer and Precision Infrared Radiometer.

DL3-PSensor (2003)

Data logger with MMC socket and sensor interfaces for Paroscientific Digiquartz Pressure Transducer, Seabird SBE-4 Conductivity Sensor, thermistor, and software uart.

DL4-GP (2005)

Data logger module with MMC/Secure Digital (SD) data storage designed to plug in to Application Specific Interface Modules (ASIM).  Two ASIM modules have been built to interface with the DL4-GP: DL4-IO1-Met, and DL4-IO2-GPS-COMM.

The DL4-IO1-Met provides an interface to a suite of meteorological sensors:  wind speed and direction, relative humidity, temperature (3 channels), solar radiation, barometric pressure, precipitation (2 channels), soil/fuel moisture (4 channels).

The DL4-IO2-GPS-COMM adds three asynchronous serial I/O ports to the the DL4-GP.  One port is dedicated to a Trimble Lassen IQ 12-channel GPS.  The two other ports are set up for RS-232 serial communication (RX, TX, CTS, RTS).
