Section 7. Short Cut Program Generator

From this box, you indicate which CR9000X modules are inserted into which
CR9000X slots. To add a module, select the module by clicking on it in the
Available CR9000X Modules list, select the Slot by clicking on the slot
number, then press the arrow key.

To remove a module, select the slot containing it and then press the Remove
Module button.

Whenever you are working with a CR9000X program, this
dialog box can be brought up by choosing Datalogger from the
Progress panel. However, the Remove Module button is only
available when a new program is being created. Once the Next
button on the screen has been pressed, modules can be added but
they cannot be removed.

NOTE

The next dialog box that is displayed is used to select the type of integration to
apply to the measurements in the program. Integration can be used to filter out
AC signals that might affect the accuracy of your measurements (such as noise
from fluorescent lighting or a generator). Typically 60 Hz rejection is used for
North America and 50 Hz rejection is used for countries following European
standards. Fast (250 µs) integration should be used when you need an
execution speed that cannot be accomplished using one of the other options.

This dialog box will be displayed the very first time you create a program for a
specific datalogger type; it will not be displayed thereafter. With each
subsequent program you create, the integration you chose when the datalogger
was initialized in Short Cut will be used. However, you can change the
integration from the Program menu. If you make this change, the setting will
remain in effect for all programs for that datalogger type (whether they are new
programs or edited programs) until it is changed again.

The last dialog box displayed is the Sensor Support dialog box. (This dialog
box will not be displayed when creating a CR9000X program.) This is used to
select which group of sensor files will be displayed when creating a program:
Campbell Scientific, Inc. (CSI, USA) or Campbell Scientific, Ltd. (CSL, UK).
The standard set of Short Cut sensor files was created by CSI; however, CSL
has created some additional files that are customized for their client base.
When one option is selected, the sensor files developed specifically for the
other are filtered out.
