If a field is an element of an array, the field name will be followed by a indices within parentheses
that identify the element in the array. For example, a variable named
Values
, which is declared
as a two-by-two array in the data logger program, will be represented by four field names:
Values(1,1)
,
Values(1,2)
,
Values(2,1)
, and
Values(2,2)
. There will be one
value in the second header row for each scalar value defined by the table.
If the default field names are not acceptable to the programmer, the
FieldNames()
instruction can be used in the CRBasic program to customize the names.
TIMESTAMP
,
RECORD
,
BattV_Avg
,
PTemp_C_Avg
, and
Temp_C_Avg
are the default field names in the previous
The third header row identifies engineering units for that field. These units are declared at the
beginning of a CRBasic program using the optional
Units()
declaration. In Short Cut, units are
chosen when sensors or measurements are added. Units are strictly for documentation. The data
logger does not make use of declared units, nor does it check their accuracy.
The fourth header row reports abbreviations of the data process used to produce the field of
data.
