CR1000, CR3000, and CR800 Series Dataloggers — A program

marked as “Run on power up” can be disabled when power is first

applied to the datalogger by pressing and holding the DEL key.

Delete – Highlight a file and press the delete button to remove the file from the

datalogger’s memory.

Stop Program halts execution of the currently running datalogger program.

Select the option to stop the program and retain the data files, or to stop the

program and delete data files. The option to retain or delete data files includes

those in internal datalogger memory and those on a card written by the

CardOut instruction. In most cases, data written to a card using the TableFile

instruction will not be erased. However, when writing data to the card using

the TableFile instruction with option 64, the file currently in use will be erased

while other files will be maintained.

If you select the option to Delete Data, you also have the option of whether or

not to clear the Run On Power-up option for the file. Select the check box to

clear the Run On Power-up option. Clear the check box to leave the Run On

Power-up option of the file unchanged.

If a CR1000, CR3000, or CR800 program has been stopped, you can use the

Run Options button to restart it. If data files were not deleted when the

program was stopped, you will once again be able to choose whether to retain

or erase the data files. You will also be able to choose whether to run this

program on power-up. Instead of restarting the stopped program, you can

choose a new program file to run by selecting a different file in the

File Name

field before pressing

Run Options.

Right Click Menu Options

When a file name is selected, pressing the right mouse button displays a menu

with the Retrieve File, Delete File, Rename File, View File (retrieves the file

and opens it in the CRBasic Editor), Run Options, and Stop Program options.

The View File option can be used to edit a program on your

datalogger. After making the desired edits and saving it to your

computer, you will need to send the edited program to the

datalogger.

5.1.10 Terminal Emulator

The datalogger can be put into a remote terminal mode so that the user can

send low level communication instructions to the datalogger. Often this is used

for troubleshooting applications, such as viewing memory settings in the

datalogger or changing the program execution interval temporarily. When

terminal emulation is active, all other communication with the datalogger is

suspended, including scheduled data collection. Information on

communicating with the datalogger in terminal mode is provided in the

datalogger user’s manual.
