The CDM-VW305 is an eight-channel interface that you can use between standard single-coil circuit vibrating wire sensors and data loggers to allow shorter intervals between measurements. With the CDM-VW305 interface, you can achieve much faster and better measurements without having to purchase new sensors. Sensors typically used with the CDM-VW305 are strain gages, load cells, pressure transducers, crackmeters, and tiltmeters.
This interface uses an excitation mechanism that maintains the vibrating wire sensor in a continuously vibrating state. The interface measures the resonant frequency of the wire between excitations using the patented vibrating wire spectral-analysis technology (VSPECT®). VSPECT® provides very fine measurement resolution and also limits the influence of external noise by discriminating between signal and noise based on frequency content. Because of this technology, the signal can be carried through longer cables, giving you flexibility in your sensor and data logger siting.
You can connect multiple CDM-VW305 modules to one data logger. The CDM-VW300 is similar to this item, but has two channels.
The dynamic vibrating wire measurement technique is protected under U.S. Patent No. 8,671,758, and the vibrating wire spectral-analysis technology (VSPECT®) is protected under U.S. Patent No. 7,779,690.
除动态振弦测量,CDM-VW305 还可用于其它测量。随动态测量一同产生的每秒一次的静态振弦测量,它提供了更精细的测量分辨率和对外部噪声源的更强大的抗干扰能力。CDM-VW305还包括与每个振弦通道相对应的热敏电阻输入通道,1 Hz频率时提供高达24位高精度的测量结果。最后,提供一组丰富的诊断参数与振弦数据。
CDM-VW305拥有简单的后处理数据的能力,这点通过计算内部共同值来完成。振弦数据以测量频率来显示,或者以乘数和偏移量行程方波来显示。热敏电阻的数据显示为阻抗或利用Steinhart-Hart系数转换成摄氏度来显示。CDM-VW305 也可根据最终数据编译降雨流量柱状图,也可按用户指定的间隔报告数值。

The SC-CPI Datalogger Serial-to-CPI Interface is required to connect the CDM-VW305 to compatible data logger (except the CR6). A 5-conductor cable connects the data logger to the SC-CPI, and an Ethernet cable connects the SC-CPI to the CDM-VW305.
The data logger operating system must be version OS 26 or newer.
The CDM-VW305 is not designed to work with multiplexers.
DVW Tool Box is an application-specific software tool for demonstration and evaluation of the CDM-VW300, CDM-VW305 and VWire 305 dynamic vibrating wire interfaces.

A software utility used to download operating systems and set up Campbell Scientific hardware. Also will update PakBus Graph and the Network Planner if they have been installed previously by another Campbell Scientific software package.
Supported Operating Systems:
Windows 11 or 10 (Both 32 and 64 bit)
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:

The CDM-VW300 offers two channels for simultaneous reading of two vibrating wire sensors, whereas the CDM-VW305 offers eight channels for simultaneous measurements. Other than the number of channels supported, both models operate identically.
These devices work with vibrating wire strain gages, load cells, pressure transducers, crackmeters, and tiltmeters. Any standard, single-coil circuit vibrating wire sensor should work with these devices.
The frequency outputs generated by the CDM-VW300 or CDM-VW305 can be scaled with known sensor response functions, which are provided by the manufacturer of the sensor. These frequency conversions are used to obtain measurement outputs expressed in the desired engineering units.
Yes. When more than eight channels are needed in a system, multiple CDM-VW300-series devices can be connected to the same data logger.
Any combination of CDM-VW300 and CDM-VW305 devices can be used to achieve the desired number of total terminals.
The list below, ordered by data logger and measurement rate, indicates the maximum number of supported terminals:
To communicate with CDM devices using the CPI protocol, the CR3000, CR1000, CR850, and CR800 dataloggers require an SC-CPI device. Only one SC-CPI device per data logger is required. It is expected that the design of future Campbell Scientific data logger products will work with CPI-based modules directly.
CDM-VW300-series devices can measure vibrating wire sensors at the following rates: 1 Hz, 20Hz, 50Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, and 333.3 Hz. CDM-VW300-series devices are designed for measurement periods of 1 s or less.
Yes. Specific types of sensor measurements can be examined and evaluated before the system is deployed to a field site. A data logger is not used for this type of evaluation. Connect the CDM-VW300-series device directly to a computer using a USB cable. Using DVWTool software (specialized software included with the CDM-VW300 or CDM-VW305), the outputs of the attached vibrating wire sensors can be observed, and the CDM device can be configured appropriately.
