For CRBasic dataloggers, you can use the CRBasic Editor to open the .CR#
files directly. Again, Short Cut will not be able to open the files you’ve edited
with the CRBasic Editor, since they are not an SCW file.
7.5 New Sensor Files
Short Cut was designed with future flexibility in mind. Datalogger and sensor
support is provided as individual files and not part of the SCWIN executable.
As new dataloggers and sensors become available, new definition files will be
created to add and modify the necessary features known to Short Cut. To
update these files, you can download the latest version of Short Cut from the
Campbell Scientific website:
www.campbellsci.com/downloads
It is also possible to have custom sensor files created for sensors your
organization uses that are not included with Short Cut. Contact your Campbell
Scientific applications engineer for details.
7.6 Custom Sensor Files
The creation of custom sensor files can be enabled from Short Cut’s Tools |
Options menu item. Once enabled, custom sensor files can be created by right-
clicking on a sensor in the Available Sensors and Devices list and choosing
Create Custom Sensor.
The resulting dialog box will allow the user to make changes to the chosen
sensor file and then save it with a new name. (See Short Cut’s Online Help for
additional information on changes that can be made.) By default, custom
sensor files will be created in C:\CampbellSci\SCWin\SENSORS, which is a
different location than that of Short Cut’s included sensor files.
Once the custom sensor file has been saved, it will be added to the Available
Sensors list.
