Appendix A. Importing Short Cut Code
Into CRBasic Editor
This tutorial shows:
•
How to import a
Short Cut
program into a program editor for
additional refinement
•
How to import a wiring diagram from
Short Cut
into the comments of
a custom program
Short Cut
creates files, which can be imported into
CRBasic Editor
. Assuming
defaults were used when
Short Cut
was installed, these files reside in the
C:\campbellsci\SCWin folder:
•
.DEF (wiring and memory usage information)
•
.CR6 (CR6 datalogger code)
•
.CR2 (CR200(X) datalogger code)
•
.CR1 (CR1000 datalogger code)
•
.CR8 (CR800 datalogger code)
•
.CR3 (CR3000 datalogger code)
•
.CR5 (CR5000 datalogger code)
Use the following procedure to import
Short Cut
code and wiring diagram into
CRBasic Editor
.
1. Create the
Short Cut
program following the procedure in Section
. Finish the program and exit
Short Cut
. Make note of the
file name used when saving the
Short Cut
program.
2. Open
CRBasic Editor
.
3. Click
File
|
Open
. Assuming the default paths were used when
Short Cut
was installed, navigate to C:\CampbellSci\SCWin folder. The file of
interest has the .CR6, .CR2, .CR1, .CR8, .CR3, or .CR5 extension. Select
the file and click
Open
.
4. Immediately save the file in a folder different from
C:\Campbellsci\SCWin, or save the file with a different file name.
Once the file is edited with
CRBasic Editor
,
Short Cut
can no
longer be used to edit the datalogger program. Change the name
of the program file or move it, or
Short Cut
may overwrite it next
time it is used.
5. The program can now be edited, saved, and sent to the datalogger.
6. Import wiring information to the program by opening the associated .DEF
file. Copy and paste the section beginning with heading “-Wiring for
CRXXX–” into the CRBasic program, usually at the head of the file. After
pasting, edit the information such that an apostrophe (
'
) begins each line.
