Overview
The TDR100 Time-Domain Reflectometer is the core of the Campbell Scientific time-domain reflectometry system. This system is used to accurately determine soil volumetric water content, soil bulk electrical conductivity, rock mass deformation, or user-specific time-domain measurement. Up to 16 TDR100s can be controlled using a single Campbell Scientific datalogger. PC-TDR software is used with our TDR100-based systems during system setup and troubleshooting. It can be downloaded from the Downloads section of the web page.

Detailed Description
The TDR100 (1) generates a short rise time electromagnetic pulse that is applied to a coaxial system that includes a TDR probe for soil water measurements and (2) samples and digitizes the resulting reflection waveform for analysis or storage.
The elapsed travel time and pulse reflection amplitude contain information used by the on-board processor to quickly and accurately determine soil volumetric water content, soil bulk electrical conductivity, rock mass deformation or user-specific, time-domain measurement.
The data logger collects a 250-point waveform and analyzes it in approximately two seconds. Each waveform can have up to 2,048 data points for monitoring long cable lengths used in rock mass deformation or slope stability. Averaging up to 128 readings makes accurate measurements possible in noisy environments.

Additional Compatibility Information
Data Logger Considerations
To control the TDR100, the data logger uses TDR100 instruction in CRBasic or Instruction 119 in Edlog. All CR800-series, CR1000, and CR3000 operating systems (OS) are compatible with the TDR100. The CR10X operating system (OS) should be version 1 rev. 13 or higher and the CR23X OS should be version 1 rev. 10 or higher.
Enclosure Considerations
The TDR100 requires a desiccated, non-condensing environment; a Campbell Scientific enclosure is recommended. The TDR100's case has mounting flanges for attachment to the 1 in.-on-center hole grid of Campbell Scientific enclosures.
