4. QuickStart
A video that describes data logger programming using
Short Cut
is available at:
www.campbellsci.com/videos/cr1000x-data logger-getting-started-program-part-3
.
Short
Cut
is an easy way to program your data logger to measure the sensor and assign data logger
wiring terminals.
Short Cut
is available as a download on
. It is included
in installations of
LoggerNet
,
RTDAQ
, and
PC400
.
The following procedure also describes programming with Short Cut.
1. Open
Short Cut
and click Create New Program.
2. Double-click the data logger model.
3. In the Available Sensors and Devices box, type CS650. You can also locate the sensor in the
Sensors > Meteorological > Soil Moisture > CS650/CS655 Water Content Reflectometer
folder. The four different options monitor different parameters. For this tutorial, double-
click to select CS650/CS655 Water Content Reflectometer (VWC, EC, T, P, PA, and VR). The
soil temperature defaults to degree C, and the sensor is measured hourly. These are
changed by clicking the Temperature or Measure sensor box and selecting an option. Enter
the correct SDI-12 Address for the CS650 or CS655. After entering the Properties, click on
the Wiring tab to see how the sensor is to be wired to the data logger.
