12.5.1 Table definitions
Each data table is associated with descriptive information, referred to as a“table definition,” that
becomes part of the file header (first few lines of the file) when data is downloaded to a
computer. Table definitions include the data logger type and OS version, name of the CRBasic
program associated with the data, name of the data table (limited to 20 characters), and
alphanumeric field names.
12.5.1.1 Header rows
The first header row of the data table is the environment line, which consists of eight fields. The
following list describes the fields using the previous table entries as an example:
l
TOA5 - Table output format. Changed via LoggerNet Setup Standard View, Data Files
tab.
l
MyStation - Station name. Changed via LoggerNet Setup, Device Configuration Utility, or
CRBasic program.
l
CR300 - Data logger model.
l
1142 - Data logger serial number.
l
CPU:MyTemperature.CR300 - Data logger program name. Changed by sending a new
program (see
Sending a program to the data logger (p. 54) for more information).
l
1958 - Data logger program signature. Changed by revising a program or sending a new
program (see
Sending a program to the data logger (p. 54) for more information).
l
OneMin - Table name as declared in the running program (see Creating data tables in a
program (p. 64) for more information).
The second header row reports field names. Default field names are a combination of the
variable names (or aliases) from which data is derived, and a three-letter suffix. The suffix is an
abbreviation of the data process that outputs the data to storage. A list of these abbreviations
follows in
Data processing abbreviations (p. 63).
