Section 7. Creating and Editing Datalogger Programs

Comments about the conversion are shown in the Action Log (bottom portion

of the window). The Action Log should be reviewed carefully; it provides

useful comments and alerts you to any problems that may exist in the

converted file. To view only the messages related to problems in the field,

enable the Show Only Problem Messages check box.

If a comment in the Action Log is double-clicked, the associated instructions in

both the Edlog program and the CRBasic program will be highlighted. If an

instruction is double-clicked in the Edlog file, the associated instruction in the

CRBasic program will be highlighted. In the window above, the first comment

was selected, resulting in the Edlog instruction and a comment in the CRBasic

program both being highlighted in red.

The transformed file cannot be edited in the Transformer. Once transformed, it

can be opened in the CRBasic Editor or saved under a new file name. To open
the program in the CRBasic Editor, press the CRBasic program icon

at the

top left of the window. To save the file under a different name, choose File |

Program File | Save As.

If an Edlog file previously has been opened in the Transformer, when the file is

opened a second time you will receive a message “This file, <filename>,

already exists. If you overwrite it, the information it contains will be lost. Do

you want to overwrite it?” If you choose

Yes

, the existing CR1 file will be

overwritten. If you choose

No

, you will be given the opportunity to provide a

new name for the file. This message can be suppressed by selecting Options |

Suppress “Overwrite File” Warning from the Transformer menu. However,

note that you should strongly consider keeping this message intact to avoid the

possibility of overwriting a file that you transformed and then subsequently

edited in the CRBasic Editor.
