The data is then read by real-time data monitoring software which produces graphs of the data which are regularly uploaded to this website. Since the data logger and sensors are solar powered, they are unaffected by AC power outages. The station can perform its programmed tasks using self-generated power and the data stored during an outage can be collected when possible. The CR10X data logger consists of a measurement and control module and a detachable wiring panel. The TE525 is an adaptation of the standard Weather Bureau tipping bucket rain gage.
Output is a momentary switch closure activated by each tip of the tipping bucket mechanism.
Each switch closure measures 0.01 inches of rain. This analog barometer uses a Barocap silicon capacitive pressure sensor. The CS105 outputs a linear 0 to 2.5 VDC signal that corresponds to a range of 600 to 1060mb. It can be operated in a continuous or power-saving power up mode. The LI200X measures incoming sun plus sky radiation with a silicon photovoltaic detector mounted in a cosine-corrected head.
