Section 1. Introduction

CR9000X and CR5000 programs can be generated using a detailed,
instruction-level interface resulting in extensive control over generated
programs.

1.2 Getting Help for RTDAQ Applications

Detailed descriptions of each application or tool are included in later sections
of this manual. Each application also has its own built-in help system.
Context sensitive help for an application can usually be accessed by moving
the focus to (i.e., clicking on) a particular item and pressing the F1 key or by
selecting Help from the application's menu.

Contact your Campbell Scientific representative if you are unable to resolve
your questions after reviewing the above noted resources.

1.3 Windows Conventions

There are numerous conventions and expectations about the way a software
program looks and behaves when running under Microsoft Windows.
Campbell Scientific has adopted many of these conventions in RTDAQ.

This manual describes a collection of screens, dialogs, and functions to
interoperate with Campbell Scientific’s dataloggers. As with most Windows-
based software there is usually more than one way to access each function. We
encourage you to look around and experiment with different options to find
which methods work best for you.

To keep this manual as concise and readable as possible, we will not always
list all of the methods for getting to every function. Typically each function
will have two methods of access and some will have as many as four.
