Hi,

Recently i got numerous watchdogerrors.

I tried a different program to use but still getting errors.

I dont have skipped scans.

I see the clocks in the connect screen differ, "adjusted server date/time is 20/09/2022 14:55:24 and the " Station Date/Time is 14:53:59

Ive set them so they are equal again, but got errors again after soms time.

What can i do to solve this?

With kind regards.

Hi,

Change internal lithium battery, install latest datalogger OS. Run again. If problem persists send back to CSI. :)

Best regards,

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

The lithium battery is showing 3.42 Volts.

Im running latest CR1000 OS.

Might it be related to the value in the "Communication Allocation" field in the Device Configuration Utility ? 

It was showing 50 for unknown reason.

I raised it to 500 (which is the max) and it is not showing Watchdogerrors now during the night.

With the kindest regards.

I have re-send the os tot the cr1000 tot have the cr1000 to Factory settings.

That worked fine, but i still cant connect to the cr1000.

As can be seen in the picture, program cant be send and at the right corner a message about tables.

Cant merge or reset tables because they arent there and theres no program.

Although i can send os to the cr1000, but thats about it...

If repair for my CR1000 is needed, does Campbell still support repair for it?

With the kindest regards,

Mark

Yes, CR1000 repair service is still offered. Contact your local office for assistance.

Thank you for your reply.

I already contacted the local (the Netherlands) Campbell office and they would charge me 150 euro's ex vat to investigate, but when i said i alread send the os again to the cr1000 to reset all settings on the device, change rs232 to USB cable to rule that out, other pc etc., they said they cant do more then that. So im glad i mentioned what i already did and saved the money...

They said probably Campbell cant repair the cr1000 because of its age and thought it might be a faulty circuit board which Campbell cant repair...

Anyway, glad i now know i can trust my cr1000 to Campbell technicians/repairs:)

But to rule out some settings which might trigger watchdogerrors:

I have the connect screen always on and connected to the cr1000.

Also the pause clock update is always deselected, so updating the clock always live.

Could this trigger watchdogerrors, although i have a very simple crbasic program running on the cr1000 as a test.

With the kindest regards,

Mark
