Help: Enter the PC208W help system.
Each of these buttons launches its own window which gives you access to all
of PC208W’s functions all the time. The details of each screen are described
further in the rest of this manual and in the Help.
Reading Card Storage Module cards directly in a PCMCIA slot
requires compliant drivers. Some computers may require the
purchase of drivers from a software vendor. Windows NT and
Windows 2000 do not support 16-bit card services; therefore,
accessing CSI formatted PC cards via a PCMCIA card slot in a
computer is not available.
I.3 Other Software of Interest
There are other programs available from Campbell Scientific that you may find
useful. These packages are free and are available from our Internet site
(www.campbellsci.com) or on disk (call 435-753-2342 and ask for an

•
Short Cut Program Generator (SCWIN): An alternative to EDLOG for
creating simple programs. Short Cut guides the user through the selection
and setup of sensors (including wiring) and data storage for many
meteorological, hydrological, and industrial applications. Short Cut
supports the CR10(X) , CR500, CR510, CR23X, and 21X dataloggers.
(You can then download the program to the datalogger and retrieve data
with PC208W.)
•
PC TOUR: A computer-based tutorial that introduces a new user to basic
datalogger and datalogger support software use. It provides an overview
of a CR10X datalogger wiring panel, discusses the concepts behind a data
acquisition system, and presents an overview of PC208W.
•
PC200W: PC200W is Campbell Scientific's starter software for datalogger
communication. You can connect to a datalogger over a direct link and
collect data, set the clock, and send programs, as well as generate simple
reports and view collected data files.
