Importing Short Cut
Code
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 that can be imported into either
CRBasic Editor
.
These files normally reside in the C:\campbellsci\SCWin folder and have
the following extensions:
.DEF (wiring and memory usage information)
.CR6 (CR6 datalogger code)
.CR1 (CR1000 datalogger code)
.CR8 (CR800 datalogger code)
.CR3 (CR3000 datalogger code)
.CR2 (CR200(X) datalogger code)
.CR5 (CR5000 datalogger code)
Use the following procedure to import
Short Cut
code into
CRBasic Editor
(CR6, CR1000, CR800, CR3000, CR200(X), CR5000 dataloggers).
1. Create the
Short Cut
program following the procedure in Section
4
,
Quickstart
(p. 2)
. Finish the program and exit
Short Cut
. Make note of
the file name used when saving the
Short Cut
program.
2. Open
CRBasic Editor
.
3. Click
File
|
Open
. Assuming the default paths were used when
Short
Cut
was installed, navigate to C:\CampbellSci\SCWin folder. The file
of interest has a “.CR6”, “.CR1”, “.CR8”, “.CR3”, “.CR2”, or “.CR5”
extension, for CR6, CR1000, CR800, CR3000, or CR5000
dataloggers, respectively. Select the file and click
Open
.
4. Immediately save the file in a folder different from
\Campbellsci\SCWin, or save the file with a different file name.
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.
5. The program can now be edited, saved, and sent to the datalogger.
6. Import wiring information to the program by opening the associated
.DEF file. 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 a
'
character
(single quotation mark) begins each line. This character instructs the
datalogger compiler to ignore the line when compiling the datalogger
code.
