What We Do

Campbell Scientific systems are useful in all phases of hydropower research and power production. Our systems measure weather data; water level, flow, and temperature; power production; turbine performance; lightning potential and strike; and high-speed measurements requiring anti-alias filtering and spectrum analysis. These measurement and control systems are modular, multiprocessor systems that provide precision measurement capabilities in a rugged, battery-operated package.

  1. How much does a typical system cost?

    Most Campbell Scientific systems are built from individual components. This provides maximum flexibility for our customers, but it does not lend itself to pricing a "typical" system. Contact Campbell Scientific for assistance in pricing a system to meet the unique needs of the application.
