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.
Read MoreThe CR5000 has been been replaced by a CPI-enabled data logger (CR6) and CDM modules (CDM-A100 Series) for better performance and increased channel count capability.
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).

Short Cut |
With several channel types, the CR5000 is compatible with nearly every available sensor, including thermocouples, SDI-12 sensors, and 4 to 20 mA sensors.
The CR5000 is compatible with our multiplexers, vibrating-wire interfaces, terminal input modules, relays, and most of our SDMs.
The CR5000 communicates with a PC via direct connect, NL100 Ethernet interface, multidrop modems, short-haul modems, phone modems (land line and digital cellular), RF telemetry, and GOES satellite transmitter. Data can be viewed on its on-board keyboard display.
Storage capacity can be increased by using a PC or CompactFlash card. The CR5000's PCMCIA card slot supports one Type I, Type II, or Type III PC Card or the CF1 adapter and one CompactFlash (CF) card.
The storage capacity of Type II cards exceeds 1 GB. Type III cards provide data storage capacities exceeding 1 GB but may not be suitable for all environments. Campbell Scientific offers CF cards that store up to 2 GB of data. Please note that the PCMCIA and CompactFlash cards need to be industrial-grade and have a storage capacity of 2 GB or less.
The CR5000 is often powered by its on-board rechargeable power supply (see Ordering Info). When the rechargeable power supply is used, its internal 7-Ahr sealed rechargeable battery needs be charged via a vehicle (requires the DCDC18R), solar panel, or ac wall charger.
The CR5000 can also come with a low-profile base that requires a user-supplied dc source. It is preferred when the system’s power consumption needs a larger capacity battery or when it’s advantageous to have a thinner, lighter data logger.
CRBasic, the CR5000's full programming language, supports simple or complex programming and many onboard data reduction processes.
Current Operating System, Compiler and CR5000 support files for the CRBasic Editor. Requires the Device Configuration Utility, LoggerNet or RTDAQ to upload.
Use of this file will update the datalogger support files for the CRBasic Editor included in LoggerNet and RTDAQ.
Note: If the current Operating System on a CR5000 is version 2.1 or earlier (and no higher OS version has been loaded in the past) then it is necessary to load the "intermediate.obj" OS (included with this download) onto the CR5000 first before installing the Std7 OS (CR5000.Std.07.obj).
A software utility used to download operating systems and set up Campbell Scientific hardware. Also will update PakBus Graph and the Network Planner if they have been installed previously by another Campbell Scientific software package.
Supported Operating Systems:
Windows 11 or 10 (Both 32 and 64 bit)

Multiple CR5000s may not be directly connected to a single cellular digital modem.
It depends on the nature of the sensor output. The CR5000 has 20 differential analog inputs or 40 single-ended analog inputs.
Create additional scans using the SlowSequence instruction.
No. This is not possible because the CR5000 is not compatible with PakBus networking.
Yes. All eight control terminals can be used as pulse terminals.
Yes, burst mode can be used. The maximum sampling rate depends on the number of sensors and the integration.
First, determine if the new PC card has been formatted correctly for the CR5000 OS version. CR5000 OS 2.5 can work with FAT32 cards, whereas prior OSs can only work with FAT cards. Most new cards come formatted as FAT32. Either update the CR5000 OS to use FAT32 cards, or continue to use an old OS by reformatting the card to FAT.
To format the card as FAT:
The display contrast is set too dark for the specific ambient temperature. Press the Esc key several times, and use the left arrow key to lighten the contrast. If necessary, darken the contrast with the right arrow key.
