Section 6. View Pro
Although RTDAQ does not support the older “mixed-array” 
group of Campbell Scientific dataloggers (such as the CR10X, 
CR23X, and CR510), the Short Cut application included with 
RTDAQ is the same one included for use with LoggerNet and 
other Campbell Scientific support software. Because of this, the 
documentation included here contains references to mixed-array 
dataloggers. For most RTDAQ implementations these 
references can be ignored. 
NOTE
6.1 Overview
The View Pro button
on the LoggerNet or RTDAQ toolbar brings up
View Pro. This program can be used to open data files (*.DAT) or other CSI 
file types (*.DLD, *.CSI, *.FSL, *.LOG, *.CR1, *.CR3, etc.). View Pro can 
easily handle files up to 2 Gigabytes in size. View Pro can also be used to 
view data from a LoggerNet database table created with LNDB. 
Once a data file or database table is opened, data can be printed or graphed in 
several different graph types including Line Graphs, Histograms, XY Plots, 
FFTs (Fast Fourier Transforms), or Rainflow Histograms as appropriate for the 
data type. (Note that these graphical windows are only available for *.DAT 
files and database tables. Other file types are viewable only as text.) 
Since View Pro is primarily a file viewing utility, a file cannot be edited or 
saved using this program. 
View Pro can also be run as a stand-alone program by using the Windows Start 
Menu and selecting Programs | Campbell Scientific | LoggerNet | Data | View 
Pro (or Programs | Campbell Scientific | RTDAQ | Utilities | View Pro) or by 
using Windows Explorer and double-clicking on the ViewPro.exe file in the 
C:\Program Files\CampbellSci\View Pro folder. A desktop shortcut can be 
created by right-clicking on this file in Windows Explorer and choosing 
Create Shortcut. 
View Pro is closed by selecting File | Exit from the menu or pressing the red X 
in the upper right-hand corner. When View Pro is closed, all open graphs and 
data files will also be closed.
