Section 4. The PC400 Main Screen

No Table Fill Time Statistics will be shown for a CR200-series
datalogger, because they cannot be calculated for this datalogger.

NOTES

For the CR10XTD, CR10XPB, CR510TD, CR510PB,
CR23XTD, and CR23XPB, the Time of Fill will not be shown
and you will not have the option to Reset Tables.

Resetting a table will erase the data in the datalogger and in the
data cache.

The Status Table tab lists all of the status table fields in the datalogger along
with their values. By default, all of the fields in the status table are displayed.
To select only certain status data to be viewed, press the Select Fields button.
This will display a list of the status data available in the datalogger. Select one
or more of the fields and then press OK. The current values will be displayed in
the table. If you select a cell within the status table and right click, a short cut
menu will be displayed. From this menu you can select fields or view/modify a
value (if it is a writable value).

Press Refresh to prompt PC400 to query the datalogger and update the values
again, Print to print the information being displayed, or Save to save the
information being displayed to a file. (Note that the Print and Save buttons are
not enabled for the Table Fill Times tab.)

Refer to individual datalogger manuals for a list of fields included in the status
table for each datalogger and a description of each.

By default, certain values in the Status Table are checked each time a program
is sent. If a problem is found during the status check, the Status Table will
pop-up along with a warning indicating the problem that has been identified.
Through the Tools | Options menu item, automatic status checks can also be
generated each time a connection to the datalogger is made and/or on a
specified interval. From this menu, the automatic status checks can also be
turned off completely.

4.5.2.4 File Control for CR5000, CR800, CR1000, CR3000, and CR9000

Dataloggers

CR5000, CR800, CR1000, CR3000, and CR9000 dataloggers have a built in
file system much like a computer hard disk. Multiple files can be stored in the
datalogger’s memory or on a PC card, including data files and datalogger
programs. Note that unlike other dataloggers, these dataloggers retain in
memory programs that have been downloaded to them unless the programs are
specifically deleted or the datalogger memory is completely reset.

File Control is used to manage all the files on these dataloggers. File Control is
opened from a button on the PC400 toolbar or from the Datalogger | File
Control menu item.
