terminals are automatically configured by the measurement instruction.
The orange wire is only used for RS-232 communications and
should be grounded when using SDI-12.
For the CR6 and CR1000X dataloggers, triggering conflicts may occur when a
companion terminal is used for a triggering instruction such as
TimerInput()
,
PulseCount()
, or
WaitDigTrig()
. For example, if the CS650 is connected to
C3 on a CR1000X, C4 cannot be used in the
TimerInput()
,
PulseCount()
, or
WaitDigTrig()
instructions.
7.4 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
. Follow the
procedure in Appendix
Importing Short Cut Code Into CRBasic Editor
(p. A-1)
to import
Short Cut
code into
CRBasic Editor
to create or add to a
customized program. Programming basics for CRBasic dataloggers are
provided in this section. Complete program examples for select CRBasic
dataloggers are provided in Appendix
(p. B-1)
Programming basics and programming examples for Edlog dataloggers are
provided at

Use the
SDI12Recorder()
instruction to measure the sensor. This instruction
sends a request to the sensor to make a measurement then retrieves the
measurement values from the sensor. See Section
(p. 16)
, for more information.
