The CRVW3-NE is a three-channel vibrating wire data logger. It is designed to be an independent data logger, or you can use it as a reliable component in your larger data acquisition system. The CRVW3-NE has multiple communication options and a power regulator for easy solar panel and battery connection.
The CRVW3-NE and the CRVW3 are similar products that share the same electronic components. The main difference between them is that the CRVW3-NE allows you to select the enclosure and battery, whereas the CRVW3 includes an environmental enclosure and battery as a complete system.
The CRVW3-NE uses vibrating wire spectral-analysis technology (VSPECT™) to provide the best measurement possible for vibrating wire sensors. VSPECT™ observes the incoming sensor signal, performs a Fourier transform and a spectral analysis (transforming the time series into individual sinusoidal components in the frequency spectrum), and determines the sensor frequency by identifying the strongest signal in the acceptable range while filtering out environmental and electrical noise.
The CRVW3-NE provides the following data: the resonant sensor frequency, thermistor resistance for temperature calculation, and diagnostic values to help determine the validity of the frequency measurement.
