Section 8. Datalogger Program Creation with Edlog

8.1.3 Library Files

Library files can be created to store portions of programs, which can then be
inserted into a different program. Library files are useful if you want to write
different programs for the same sensor set, or it you have several stations that
have similar, but not identical, sensor sets.

To create a library file, select the text to be stored and then select Edit | Save
To Library File. When the window appears, type in the library file name. To
insert a library file in a program, move the cursor to the desired insertion point
and select Edit | Insert Library File.

Library files created for one type of datalogger type should not
be used in programs for a different datalogger type; i.e., a library
file for a CR10X-TD should not be used in a program for a
CR10X or a CR510-TD. Instructions differ among dataloggers,
and bringing in an invalid instruction to a datalogger could result
in errors.

NOTE

8.1.4 Documenting a DLD File

As noted in Section 8.1.1.2, Edlog File Types, the CSI file is the file created by
Edlog that is used to generate the DLD code and other files. If for some reason
your CSI file is missing, you can import the DLD file into Edlog to create
another editable CSI file. From the Edlog menu select File | Document DLD.
Select the DLD file to be imported and remember to save the file to create a
new CSI file.

Programs created with the DOS versions of Edlog earlier than 6.0 were stored
with the instruction description and comments in a *.DOC file instead of a
*.CSI file. The DLD version of these programs can be imported into current
versions of Edlog by using this Document DLD feature, though any comments
will be lost.

8.1.5 Display Options

8.1.5.1 Graphical Toolbar

A graphical toolbar provides buttons for some of the more frequently used
menu items in Edlog. The toolbar is made visible by choosing Options | Show
Toolbar from the Edlog menu. Conversely, it is removed from the screen by
choosing Options | Hide Toolbar.
