Slope Stability Monitoring using Campbell Scientific’s CR10 Measurement and Control System The Problem: Our customer required a data acquisition and control system to monitor a slowly moving slope, detect any significant movement, and trigger alarms to alert personnel working at the base of the slope. The system needed to withstand environmental extremes, operate from a self-contained power supply, and transmit data via radio to both an alarm control station and a computer base station. In the slope’s history, catastrophic failures were precursed by gradually rising rates of slippage, so the system had to detect, record, and respond to both short- and long-term (cumulative) movements. The Solution: A CR10 Measurement and Control System. Four string potentiometers were installed at posi
