5.1.4.6 Inserting Comments Into Program

It is often useful to provide comments in your datalogger program so that when
you review the program at a later date, you will know what each section of
code does. Comments can be inserted into the program by preceding the text
with a single quote. When the program is compiled, the datalogger compiler
will ignore any text that is preceded by a single quote. A comment can be
placed at the beginning of a line or it can be placed after program code. If
Syntax Highlighting is enabled (Options | Editor Preferences | Syntax
Highlighting), commented text will appear formatted differently than other
lines of code.

'CR5000

'The following program is used to measure
'4 thermocouples

'VARIABLE DECLARATION
Dim TCTemp(4)

'Dimension TC measurement variable

Alias TCTemp(1)=EngineCoolantT

'Rename variables

Alias TCTemp(2)=BrakeFluidT
Alias TCTemp(3)=ManifoldT
Alias TCTemp(4)=CabinT


In the sample code above, the datalogger compiler will ignore the commented
text.
