Granite 9 OS v.2.01 (6.33 MB) 04-05-2021
This OS should only be updated via direct connection with the Granite 9.
This download is for the Granite 9 datalogger. Execution of this download places the Operating System file(.obj) on your computer. It also updates the CRBasic Editor compiler and support files.
Note/Warning: Campbell Scientific always recommends updating operating systems on site if possible. When remote updates are required, it is recommended that you implement the necessary precautions to handle unexpected OS upload complications. All datalogger settings should be retained when updated remotely. If you choose to roll back to a previous operating system, the datalogger settings will be reset to default.
Watch the Video Tutorial: Sending an OS to a Local Datalogger.
CPI Calculator v.1.0 (2.49 MB) 06-07-2016
The CPI Calculator is a downloadable Microsoft Excel spreadsheet used to estimate the usage and capacity of a CPI network. The calculator provides an overview on CPI devices including the CDM-A108, CDM-A116, CDM-VW300, CDM-VW305, and the CSAT3B. The calculator can also estimate the measurement speed of the CDM-A108 and CDM-A116 based on the number of channels and measurement parameters.
The CPI Calculator is an estimation tool and will help you better understand and design CPI networks by considering the following:
- What is the capability of each CDM or CPI device
- What is the CPI network capacity
- How much of the CPI capacity are the CDMs or CPI devices using

If a CPI-enabled device is running and there are skipped scans in the data logger, what can be done?
The default CPI bus speed setting is 250 kB/s. The speed is adjustable in your CRBasic data logger program. Use the CPISpeed() instruction in your CRBasic program to adjust the CPI bus bandwidth to meet the following maximum combined (total) Ethernet cable lengths:
- 1000 kB/s for maximum combined Ethernet cable lengths of 15.2 m (50.0 ft)
- 500 kB/s for maximum combined Ethernet cable lengths of 61.0 m (200.0 ft)
- 250 kB/s for maximum combined Ethernet cable lengths of 152.4 m (500.0 ft)
