Section 4. The PC400 Main Screen

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 CR800, CR1000, or CR3000 program has been stopped, use the Run
Options 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. 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.

NOTE

4.5.2.5 Terminal Emulator

Terminal Emulator does just that – it emulates a terminal connected to a
datalogger or communications device. Terminal emulator comes up showing a
blank screen. Clicking on Select Device shows a list of devices known to
PC400.
