Appendix A. Importing Short Cut Code
Into CRBasic Editor
Short Cut
creates a .DEF file that contains wiring information and a program
file that can be imported into the
CRBasic Editor
. By default, these files reside
in the C:\campbellsci\SCWin folder.
Import
Short Cut
program file and wiring information into
CRBasic Editor
:
1.
Create the
Short Cut
program. After saving the
Short Cut
program, click
the
Advanced
tab then the
CRBasic Editor
button. A program file with a
generic name will open in CRBasic. Provide a meaningful name and save
the CRBasic program. This program can now be edited for additional
refinement.
Once the file is edited with
CRBasic Editor
,
Short Cut
can no
longer be used to edit the program it created.
2.
To add the
Short Cut
wiring information into the new CRBasic program,
open the .DEF file located in the C:\campbellsci\SCWin folder, and copy
the wiring information, which is at the beginning of the .DEF file.
3.
Go into the CRBasic program and paste the wiring information into it.
4.
In the CRBasic program, highlight the wiring information, right-click, and
select
Comment Block
. This adds an apostrophe (') to the beginning of
each of the highlighted lines, which instructs the data logger compiler to
ignore those lines when compiling. The
Comment Block
feature is
demonstrated at about 5:10 in the
