SS100 Sensor Simulator
1. General
The SS100 is a device used when the Campbell Scientific CR1000/LoggerNet
Training Course is taught out-of-house. The SS100 is powered by a nominal
12VDC power source, typically the datalogger itself, and provides several
outputs typical of those from sensors commonly measured by Campbell
Scientific dataloggers.
The Training Course instructors may use the SS100 in a variety of simulations
of their own choosing or use the analogies in this manual.

Multiplier and offset calculation:
Using the equation of a line with two known points (0,3) and (50,140):
y=mx + b; m = (50-0) / (140-3) = 0.365 m/s / Hz
b=y-mx; 50 - .365(140) = -1.095 m/s
CRBasic measurement instruction:
PulseCount (WS_ms,1,1 ,0,1,.365,-1.095) 'configured for high frequency
Output: Full bridge differential voltage, linear output, maximum negative
voltage equivalent to zero pressure, maximum positive output equivalent
to maximum pressure. Must calibrate in field to determine offset and
maximum and minimum pressures.
