CR200 Overview 

The CR200 datalogger provides versatile measurement capabilities in a low-cost, rugged, 
battery-operated package.  The CR200 includes CPU and analog and digital inputs and 
outputs.  The BASIC-like programming language includes data processing and analysis 
routines.   

The CR206, CR211, and CR216 combine the CR200 datalogger with a spread spectrum 
radio for telemetering data.  The different model numbers are for different spread spectrum 
frequency ranges: 

CR206  915 MHz 

U.S./Canada 

CR205 (Retired) 915 MHz 

U.S./Canada 

CR211  922 MHz 

Australia/Israel 

CR210 (Retired) 922 MHz 

Australia/Israel 

CR216  2.4 GHz 

Worldwide 

CR215 (Retired) 2.4 GHz 

Worldwide 

The CR295 includes an additional 9-pin serial port and an instruction set that allows 
communication with our TX312 HDR GOES satellite transmitter (see Appendix B). 

Throughout this manual CR200 is used to refer to the datalogger that is the same 
regardless of the model number.
