Data Loggers: Campbell Scientific data loggers are known for their field reliability and offer compatibility with a wide range of sensors and data retrieval options.

A single data logger can read a large number of sensors provided they are concentrated into a small area. Additional loggers should be deployed if sensors are distributed over a wide area. This keeps signal cables short, reduces problems with noise, and minimizes the potential for damage from construction activities and electrical transients. Cost savings on cable can sometimes pay for the additional loggers.

Interface Modules: Certain types of sensors require additional interfaces. For example, vibrating wire sensors require a VW interface, which is connected between the data logger and a multiplexer.

Multiplexers: Multiplexers increase the number of sensors that can be monitored by a data logger. For example, the CR1000 can control up to seven multi-plexers, each capable of handling 16 to 32 sensors. In practice, the data logger usually controls one or two multiplexers, and additional loggers and multiplexers are employed if there are more sensors.

Power Supplies: A power supply provides regulated power to the logger and sensors. Power is drawn from a battery that is charged from AC mains power or a solar panel.
