4.1 PC295

PC295 software is a freeware utility provided by Campbell Scientific Australia
to write programs for the DataView II.

PC295 first reads the datalogger program, to generate the list of Public
Variables and to determine the scan rate of the datalogger. Once this
information has been determined, the user is able to choose a public variable to
display, and can associate ‘Description’ and ‘Units’ strings with it to form a
‘screen’. A group of screens forms a user program, and PC295 saves this
program to disk in a DV2 file.

By default, the first part of the filename is the same as the datalogger program
from which it was generated. So for example, if you opened station1.cr2 to
create the DataView II program, PC295 would save the program as
station1.dv2. This naming convention is strongly recommended, but not
mandatory.
