Section 6. View Pro

Although RTDAQ does not support the older “mixed-array”
group of Campbell Scientific dataloggers (such as the CR10X,
CR23X, and CR510), the Short Cut application included with
RTDAQ is the same one included for use with LoggerNet and
other Campbell Scientific support software. Because of this, the
documentation included here contains references to mixed-array
dataloggers. For most RTDAQ implementations these
references can be ignored.

NOTE

6.1 Overview

The View Pro button

on the LoggerNet or RTDAQ toolbar brings up

View Pro. This program can be used to open data files (*.DAT) or other CSI
file types (*.DLD, *.CSI, *.FSL, *.LOG, *.CR1, *.CR3, etc.). View Pro can
easily handle files up to 2 Gigabytes in size. View Pro can also be used to
view data from a LoggerNet database table created with LNDB.

Once a data file or database table is opened, data can be printed or graphed in
several different graph types including Line Graphs, Histograms, XY Plots,
FFTs (Fast Fourier Transforms), or Rainflow Histograms as appropriate for the
data type. (Note that these graphical windows are only available for *.DAT
files and database tables. Other file types are viewable only as text.)

Since View Pro is primarily a file viewing utility, a file cannot be edited or
saved using this program.

View Pro can also be run as a stand-alone program by using the Windows Start
Menu and selecting Programs | Campbell Scientific | LoggerNet | Data | View
Pro (or Programs | Campbell Scientific | RTDAQ | Utilities | View Pro) or by
using Windows Explorer and double-clicking on the ViewPro.exe file in the
C:\Program Files\CampbellSci\View Pro folder. A desktop shortcut can be
created by right-clicking on this file in Windows Explorer and choosing
Create Shortcut.

View Pro is closed by selecting File | Exit from the menu or pressing the red X
in the upper right-hand corner. When View Pro is closed, all open graphs and
data files will also be closed.
