desired generator project and press Open. The generator window will be
opened with your selected generator project loaded.
Do not open a generated CRBasic program (*.C9X, *.CR5) into
the program generator. Be sure to open a generator project file
(*.GE9, *.GE5). NOTE
5.3.4.3 File | Save As
Use File | Save As to save your current generator project (whether newly
created or opened from an existing file) with a different name. A Save dialog
box appears showing the current name of the generator project. Browse to a
different folder if desired and change the name of the project to its new name,
and press Save. The generator project is saved in that location with the
specified new name (*.GE5 or *.GE9), along with the auxiliary files that are
created when a program generator project is saved. These files are the actual
(generated) CRBasic program (*.CR5 or *.C9X), the wiring diagram (*.WI5,
*.WI9), and the table definition file (*.DT5, *.DT9).
5.3.4.4 File | Edit Generator Program
Use File | Edit Generator Program to immediately generate the CRBasic
program that corresponds to the current generator project being used, and open
that program into the CRBasic Editor. This technique can be used to quickly
see the impact which a change to any project’s options has on the generated
CRBasic program.
The current project is silently saved with its current name before
being opened in the CRBasic Editor. Users should plan
accordingly before using this feature. NOTE
5.3.4.5 File | Open Wire Diagram
Use File | Open Wire Diagram to view a wiring diagram which was created
when a CR5000 or CR9000X program was generated during the project’s Save
process. This wiring diagram will give details about how the datalogger
should be appropriately wired based on the specifications given in the
generator project for the generated program. An Open dialog box appears
which allows the user to select the desired wiring diagram file (*.WI5, *.WI9)
and, after pressing open, the user can view it in the Wiring Diagram Viewer.
For more information on how to use the Wiring Diagram Viewer, open the
online help topic from that screen.
Wiring diagrams are stored in Rich Text Format (RTF). As a
result, the extension of a wiring diagram file can be changed to
*.rtf, and then the file can be opened in any RTF compatible
viewer ( such as Microsoft Word, WordPad or Open Office
Writer). NOTE
