Interfaces directly to a PC for quick setup and data acquisition
Overview
The Granite™ Volt 108 easily expands the channel count on your data-acquisition system. It has eight differential or 16 single-ended input channels, as well as two excitation channels. The Volt 108 provides programmable, precision excitation for standard sensor measurements and power outputs for controlling sensors and peripherals. This module features a 24-bit, analog-to-digital converter with low-noise performance for superior analog measurements.
Benefits and Features
- 24-bit ADC and low-noise inputs for increased measurement quality
- Distributed data acquisition
- Channel count expansion via the CPI bus on Campbell Scientific data loggers
- Easier to program than traditional multiplexers
- Programmable noise rejection
- CANbus 2.0 A/B output available with the Extended Duty (-XD) version
- USB 2.0 interface for PC-based operation with Campbell Scientific Surveyor software

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
Volt100 OS v.06.03 (640 KB) 09-05-2023
Execution of this download installs the Volt108 / Volt116 Operating System on your computer which can then be uploaded to the Volt108 or Volt116 device with the Device Configuration Utility.
