7.2 Programming
Short Cut
is the best source for up-to-date data logger programming code. If your data
acquisition requirements are simple and you are connecting the sensor to a pulse terminal, you
can probably create and maintain a data logger program exclusively by using
Short Cut
. If your
data acquisition needs are more complex, the files that
Short Cut
creates are a great source for
programming code to start a new program or add to an existing custom program.
NOTE:
Short Cut
cannot edit programs after they are imported and edited in
CRBasic Editor
.
A
Short Cut
tutorial is available in
(p. 2). If you wish to import
Short Cut
code into
CRBasic Editor
to create or add to a customized program, follow the procedure in
Short Cut code into CRBasic Editor
(p. 17). Programming basics for CRBasic data loggers are
provided in the following sections. Complete program examples for select CRBasic data loggers
can be found in
(p. 18). Programming basics and programming examples for
Edlog data loggers are provided at

7.2.1 Wind speed
Wind speed is measured by using the
PulseCount()
instruction. Syntax of the the
PulseCount()
instruction is:
PulseCount
(Dest, Reps, PChan, PConfig, POption, Mult, Offset)
