Section 7. Creating and Editing Datalogger Programs

From this box, you indicate which CR9000X modules are inserted into which

CR9000X slots. To add a module, select the module by clicking on it in the

Available CR9000X Modules list, select the Slot by clicking on the slot

number, then press the arrow key.

To remove a module, select the slot containing it and then press the Remove

Module button.

Whenever you are working with a CR9000X program, this dialog

box can be brought up by choosing Datalogger from the Progress

panel. However, the Remove Module button is only available

when a new program is being created. Once the Next button on

the screen has been pressed, modules can be added but they cannot

be removed.

The next dialog box that is displayed is used to select the type of integration to

apply to the measurements in the program. Integration can be used to filter out

AC signals that might affect the accuracy of your measurements (such as noise

from fluorescent lighting or a generator). Typically 60 Hz rejection is used for

North America and 50 Hz rejection is used for countries following European

standards. Fast (250 µs) integration should be used when you need an

execution speed that cannot be accomplished using one of the other options.

This dialog box will be displayed the very first time you create a program for a

specific datalogger type; it will not be displayed thereafter. With each

subsequent program you create, the integration you chose when the datalogger

was initialized in Short Cut will be used. However, you can change the

integration from the Program menu. If you make this change, the setting will

remain in effect for all programs for that datalogger type (whether they are new

programs or edited programs) until it is changed again.

The last dialog box displayed is the Sensor Support dialog box. (This dialog

box will not be displayed when creating a CR9000X program.) This is used to

select which group of sensor files will be displayed when creating a program:

Campbell Scientific, Inc. (CSI, USA) or Campbell Scientific, Ltd. (CSL, UK).

The standard set of Short Cut sensor files was created by CSI; however, CSL

has created some additional files that are customized for their client base.

When one option is selected, the sensor files developed specifically for the

other are filtered out.
