4.1.3 CRBasic Program Editor

CR9000X application programs are written in a variation of BASIC (Beginner’s
All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) computer language, CRBASIC
(Campbell Recorder BASIC). The CRBASIC Editor is a text editor that
facilitates creation and modification of the ASCII text file that constitutes the
CR9000X application program. CRBASIC Editor is available as part of PC400,
PC9000, RTDAQ, or LoggerNet datalogger support software packages.

The Instruction Panel on the right side is a list that comprises the instructions
for the CR9000X. Instructions can be selected from this list or entered directly
into the program entry window on the left. The Message Area is normally not
visible until you compile a program. Online help can be invoked by hitting F1
or by clicking on the "Help" button in the dialogue box. Each instruction's help
includes an example program. See the Software manual for a complete
description of the CRBasic editor.
