for Output list. For the example program, select BattV and click the Average button to add
it to the Selected Measurements for Output list. Repeat this procedure for PTemp_C and
Temp_C.
16. Click Finish and give the program a meaningful name such as a site identifier. Click Save.
17. If LoggerNet or other data logger support software is running on your computer, and the
data logger is connected to the computer (see
Making the software connection
(p. 51) for
more information), you can choose to send the program. Generally it is best to collect data
first; so, we recommend sending the program using the instructions in
TIP:
It is good practice is to always retrieve data from the data logger before sending a program;
otherwise, data may be lost. See
(p. 57) for detailed instruction.
If your data acquisition requirements are simple, you can probably create and maintain a data
logger 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 using CRBasic. See the CRBasic Editor help for detailed
information on program structure, syntax, and each instruction available to the data logger.
NOTE:
Once a Short Cut generated program has been edited with CRBasic Editor, it can no longer
be modified with Short Cut.
