5] SCIENTIFIC WHEN MEASUREMENTS MATTER W R(RE= TX320 High Data Rate GOES Transmitter Overview Campbell Scientific's TX320 is a high data rate (HDR) transmitter that provides communications, via GOES satellites, from a Data Collection Platform (DCP) to a Benefits and Features ) Transmission rates of 300 and 1200 bps ) Transmitter certified as High Data Rate version 2 compliant ) NESDIS-certified transmitter ) Automatic GPS correction of clock and oscillator drift ) Very stable clock that provides up to 28 days of operation between GPS fixes for more reliable operation in areas with poor GPS reception Technical Description The TX320 supports data transmission rates of 300 and 1200 bps. Because clock accuracy is critically important for GOES satellite telemetry, the TX320 includes a robust, temperature- compensated-oscillator (TCXO) based clock and a GPS receiver. The real-time clock's precision allows independent operation for up to 28 days without GPS correction. GOES System GOES satellites have orbits that coincide with the Earth's rotation, allowing each satellite to remain above a specific region. GOES satellites cover the western hemisphere. For comprehensive details, visit: www.campbellsci.eu/tx320 receiving station. It is compatible with most Campbell Scientific dataloggers and offers a convenient telemetry option for remote DCPs in the Western Hemisphere. ) Diagnostics and status information can be sampled by the data logger and transmitted as part of the data stream ) Readily added or retrofitted to existing Campbell Scientific systems ) Non-volatile setups configured with Windows-based software ) USB port for connecting PCs to setup and perform diagnostics ) Independent self-timed and random data buffers The GOES system is administered by the National Environmental Satellite Data Information Service (NESDIS). NESDIS assigns addresses, uplink channels, and self-timed/ random transmit time windows. Self-timed windows allow data transmission only during a predetermined time frame. Random windows are for applications of a critical nature (e.g, flood reporting) and allow transmission immediately after a threshold has been exceeded.
