For many sensors with voltage outputs (e.g. 0-5 VDC), an output of 0 mV equates to a reference value of 0. However, some sensors, such as Turner Designs Cyclops-7 fluorometers, may still output a small voltage when placed into a standard with a reference value of 0 (e.g. DI water). Since this voltage is very small, […]

G2/V2 Data Logger Terminal Commands
All G2 (G2-RAIN & G2-EXO) and V2-series (iSIC-V2 & SDL-V2) data loggers respond to common commands that can be sent through a hyper terminal via a NexSens UW6-USB-485P USB cable. These commands provide the internal information programmed on the data loggers, enable communication with WQData LIVE, and allow detection and direct communication with connected sensors. Before […]

Using NexSens Electronics in CB-Series Data Buoys
Although users may provide their own electronics, including data loggers, modems, and batteries, many CB-Series data buoys are delivered as complete, plug-and-play system packages with a NexSens data logger as the central component of the system. Data Loggers NexSens offers four different data logging systems for buoy deployment, all of which are based on the […]
CB-Series Data Buoy Planning & Precautions
Buoy deployments are usually complex operations that involve many elements including sensors, data loggers, mounting hardware, and mooring equipment. Careful planning and precautions are essential to the success of a buoy project, not only for system operation and data collection but also to ensure the safety of project personnel and minimize the risk of damage to […]
CB-150 Data Buoy Overview
The CB-150 data buoy is a compact buoy platform designed for smaller water bodies, portable or short-term deployments, and applications requiring small, power-efficient sensors. It is ideal for deployment in lakes, rivers, coastal waters, harbors, estuaries, and other freshwater or marine environments. Like all solar-powered NexSens CB-Series data buoys, it is a highly customizable platform […]
Installing User-Supplied Electronics in Data Buoys
NexSens CB-Series data buoys are flexible platforms that allow for use with both NexSens and user-supplied electronics. For user-supplied electronics, several accessories are available to facilitate installation inside the watertight data well. Common Accessories Battery mounts – While user-supplied electronics on CB-Series data buoys may receive power from NexSens-issued CB-A01-2 and CB-A05-x battery harnesses, users may […]
