files for both the CR5000 datalogger and the CR9000X (CR9032 CPU)
datalogger. Creation of programs for the CR9000 datalogger (CR9031 CPU) is
not supported. Use the RTDAQ Program Generator when you are familiar with
the interface based on experience using the PC9000 software, or when you
require detailed control over generated program parameters.

5.3.2 Program Startup

To create a datalogger program using the RTDAQ CR5000/CR9000X Program
Generator, press the Program Generator button from the main RTDAQ
toolbar.

You may also select Tools | CR5000/CR9000X Program Generator… to
start the application. This program can also be started by double-clicking on
the ProgGen.exe file directly in the C:\Program Files\Campbellsci\RTDAQ
folder.

When the program starts, it opens a new program generator project and
displays it to the user for immediate modification or use. The type of generator
project may be a CR5000 project or a CR9000X project. If the CR5000 is the
selected datalogger within the main RTDAQ program, then a new CR5000
generator project will be opened. If the CR9000X is the selected datalogger
within RTDAQ, then a CR9000X generator project will be opened. If a
datalogger other than the CR5000 or CR9000X is selected, then the generator
project type will correspond to the kind used most recently (CR5000 or
CR9000X).
