Visão Geral
The TX326 is a satellite transmitter that uses the Meteosat satellite system to provide one-way communications from a data collection platform (DCP) to a receiving station.
Meteosat is a system of geostationary meteorological satellites operated by EUMETSAT (European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites). Geostationary satellites have orbits that coincide with the Earth's rotation, allowing each satellite to remain above a specific region. EUMETSAT is an intergovernmental organization created through an international convention of European countries.

Descrição Técnica
The TX326 transmitter uses the Meteosat satellite system to provide one-way communications from a data collection platform (DCP) to a receiving station. Supported transmission rates are 100 (SRDCP) and 1200 (HRDCP) bps. This transmitter is used with our CR300, CR310, CR1000X, and CR6 dataloggers, as well as with our GRANITE measurement and control data-acquisition systems.
Because clock accuracy is critically important for Meteosat satellite telemetry, the TX326 includes an embedded GPS receiver. The GPS receiver automatically corrects for clock and oscillator drift, allowing for longer intervals between service visits.
Detailed diagnostic information about the radio is also available for the field technician and various diagnostic uses. These diagnostic parameters include the following:
- Latitude and longitude using the built-in GPS
- Current battery voltage
- Current temperature
- Battery voltage before last transmission
- Temperature before last transmission
- Battery voltage during last transmission
- Altitude of last GPS position
- Time of last GPS position
- Number of GPS fix misses
- Time of last missed GPS fix
- GPS receiver health and status
- Failsafe tripped indication
- Duration of last transmission
- Forward power of last transmission
- Reflect power on last transmission
- VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) last transmission results
- Current transmission state

TX326 and TX325 Program Example for GRANITE, CR6, CR1000X, or CR300 Data Loggers v.6 (5 KB) 18-10-2021
GRANITE-series, CR6, CR1000X, or CR300-series data logger program for the TX326 and TX325 that sets up self-timed and random transmissions and reads diagnostic information. Another program is available for the TX325 with the CR3000, CR1000, or CR800-series data loggers because they are programmed differently.
