Appendix A. Importing Short Cut Code
Into CRBasic Editor
This tutorial shows:
•
How to import a
Short Cut
program into a program editor for
additional refinement
• How to import a wiring diagram from Short Cut into the comments of
a custom program
Short Cut
creates files, which can be imported into
CRBasic Editor
. Assuming
defaults were used when Short Cut was installed, these files reside in the
C:\campbellsci\SCWin folder:
•
.DEF (wiring and memory usage information)
• .CR300 (CR300-series datalogger code)
• .CR6 (CR6-series datalogger code)
•
.CR8 (CR800-series datalogger code)
•
.CR1 (CR1000 datalogger code)
• .CR1X (CR1000X-series datalogger code)
•
.CR3 (CR3000 datalogger code)
• .CR5 (CR5000 datalogger code)
Use the following procedure to import Short Cut code and wiring diagram into
CRBasic Editor .
1. Create the Short Cut program following the procedure in Section 4 ,
QuickStart
(p. 1)
. Finish the program. On the Advanced tab, click the
CRBasic Editor button. The program opens in CRBasic with the name
noname.CR_ . Now save the program with your desired name in any
folder.
Once the file is edited with CRBasic Editor , Short Cut can no
longer be used to edit the datalogger program. Change the name
of the program file or move it, or Short Cut may overwrite it next
time it is used.
2. The program can now be edited, saved, and sent to the datalogger.
3. Import wiring information to the program by opening the associated .DEF
file. By default, it will be in the c:\campbellsci\SCWin folder. Copy and
paste the section beginning with heading “–Wiring for CRXXX–” into the
CRBasic program, usually at the head of the file. After pasting, edit the
information such that an apostrophe ( ' ) begins each line. This character
instructs the datalogger compiler to ignore the line when compiling. You
can highlight several lines of CRBasic code then right-click and select
Comment Block . (This feature is demonstrated at about 5:10 in the
CRBasic | Features video.)
