Data transmitter TX325

satellite

The TX325 is a GOES satellite data transmitter and is the successor to the TX321. In the Western Hemisphere, it is compatible for use with NOAA’s GOES DCS with a coverage range including Canada, the United States of America, and Mexico—as well as most countries in Central America and many South American countries. The TX325 is the telemetry backbone for many data collection platforms (DCP) that utilize GOES satellites. The satellite transmitter can be integrated with a number of Campbell Scientific data loggers and is an available communications option for many of our systems, serving a wide range of applications Benefits and Features - NESDIS HDR V2 certified (certification number 12142012) - ANATEL certified (certification number 07995-21-10644) - Compatible with GOES DCS system - Easy integration with Campbell Scientific data loggers - Field tested and proven track record of reliability - Embedded GPS receiver for stabilized internal time keeping and transmit frequency for long service intervals - Low standby current consumption for battery-powered systems at remote DCP installation sites - Quick assessment of radio health via monitoring of diagnostic data from the radio The TX325 transmitter can transmit either self-timed or random GOES messages to the GOES West and GOES East satellites. In a typical configuration, the TX325 is connected to a data logger via an RS-232 serial connection. The data logger makes measurements, then formats those values to create a data packet which is then transferred to the TX325. The TX325 then buffers the message until its transmission window (or random transmission time), when it will then transmit the data at either 300 or 1200 bps
