Flexdaq Cr1000x [exclusive] May 2026

From a technical standpoint, the CR1000X at its core delivers a 32-bit microcontroller, 128 MB of storage, and 100 Hz burst measurement capability. When integrated into a FlexDAQ system, it can simultaneously handle slow environmental sensors (thermistors, rain gauges) on one card and high-speed vibration or pulse signals on another. The true differentiator is software: using Campbell’s Short Cut or CRBasic, users can program complex sequencing that would be cumbersome on a PC-based DAQ. Real-world applications include structural health monitoring of bridges (mixing strain gauges with accelerometers), renewable energy test stands (logging voltage/current alongside weather data), and mobile lab setups where power and space are at a premium. For engineers needing deterministic measurement control without sacrificing modularity, the FlexDAQ CR1000X eliminates the traditional trade-off between “tough” and “flexible.”

The represents a convergence of two powerful data acquisition philosophies: the rugged, field-proven reliability of Campbell Scientific’s CR1000X datalogger and the modular, high-speed flexibility of a traditional DAQ system. Unlike standard dataloggers with fixed I/O, the FlexDAQ configuration allows users to mix and match analog, digital, and isolated measurement cards within a single compact chassis—all while retaining the CR1000X’s low power consumption (typically <1 W) and extreme temperature tolerance (-40°C to +70°C). flexdaq cr1000x
