Section 7. Creating and Editing
Datalogger Programs
Datalogger must be programmed before they can make measurements. LoggerNet offers
three options for programming dataloggers. Short Cut, Edlog, and CRBasic Editor.
Short Cut (also referred to as SCWIN) is an application for generating programs for all of
Campbell Scientific’s dataloggers and preconfigured weather stations except the CR7 and
CR9000. Users do not have to know individual program instructions for each datalogger.
Short Cut not only generates a program for the datalogger, but also a wiring diagram that
can be left with the datalogger for field servicing.
The CRBasic Editor is the full-featured program editor for the CR5000, CR9000,
CR9000X, CR1000, CR800 Series, CR3000, and CR200 Series dataloggers. It is a full-
featured editor that requires the user to understand the program instructions for the
datalogger, but it can be used to develop more complex programs than what can be created
using SCWIN.
The CR7, CR10, 21X, CR500, CR510, CR10X, and CR23X dataloggers are programmed
using the Edlog editor. Edlog supports all operating systems for these dataloggers,
including the table-data or “TD” and PakBus or “PB” versions. Like the CRBasic Editor,
it requires that the user have more knowledge of datalogger program instructions than
SCWIN.
In addition to the above programming tools, the Transformer utility is offered in LoggerNet
for those users of CR10X or CR23X dataloggers who need to develop programs for the
CR800 Series, CR1000 or CR3000 dataloggers.
7.1 Review of CSI Datalogger Models
Campbell Scientific dataloggers can be broken down into two categories:
Edlog dataloggers and CRBasic dataloggers.
Edlog dataloggers, the 21X, CR7, CR10, CR10X, CR500, CR510, and CR23X,
come by default with operating systems that store data in one or two areas of
final storage, with all intervals typically stored “end-to-end” in the same area of
memory as individual arrays, hence the name “mixed-array” operating systems.
Each array (e.g., 15 minute, hourly, daily) will have its own identifier that
appears as an integer in the first position of the array. This is referred to as the
Array ID. The other “elements” of the array store year, Julian day, hour-
minute, seconds, and any of a variety of processing of measurements, such as
average air temperature, total rainfall, minimum battery voltage, etc. To
analyze the data, the user may find it useful to post-process the mixed-array
data to extract the interval array of interest. Split (see Section 8,
Working with
Data Files on the PC
) is ideally suited to do this.
Some of these Edlog dataloggers, specifically the CR510, CR10X, and CR23X,
can alternatively be configured with table-data or PakBus operating systems.
In these table-based configurations (CR510-TD, CR510-PB, CR10X-TD,
CR10X-PB, CR23X-TD, and CR23X-PB), they measure the sensors the same
