7.2 Datalogger Programming
Short Cut
is the best source for up-to-date datalogger programming code.
If your data acquisition requirements are simple, you can probably create and
maintain a datalogger program exclusively with
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.
Short Cut
cannot edit programs after they are imported and edited
in
CRBasic Editor
.
A
Short Cut
tutorial is available in Section
. If you wish to
import
Short Cut
code into
CRBasic Editor
to create or add to a customized
program, follow the procedure in Appendix
(p. A-1)
. Programming basics are provided in the following
section. A complete program example can be found in Appendix
(p. B-1)
If the 109 probe is to be used with long cable lengths or in electrically noisy
environments, consider employing the measurement programming techniques

7.2.1 Therm109() Instruction
The
Therm109()
measurement instruction programs CRBasic dataloggers to
measure the 109 probe. It applies a precise excitation voltage, makes a half-
bridge resistance measurement, and converts the result to temperature using the
