Section 7. Monitoring Data in Real-time

window, any variables that are declared as boolean in the program will be
displayed on the right side of the window.

To return the Ports and Flags display to its original state, press the Defaults
button. This will reset all labels to their original names, update the number of
flags based on the currently running program, and remove any boolean values
placed on the screen.

With the CR800 series, CR1000 and CR3000 dataloggers, a
control port must first be configured for output in the datalogger
program before it can be toggled on or off. Consequently, if you
select a port and it doesn't appear to change, your program may
not have the port configured for output (refer to your datalogger
operator's manual). Ports on the CR5000 and CR9000X cannot
be controlled directly with the Ports and Flags window. For these
dataloggers, special Flag settings tied to the ports must be set up
in the datalogger program to achieve the desired control.

NOTE

A boolean variable is a variable that can have one of two states:
high/low, on/off, -1/0, true/false. Variables for CRBasic
dataloggers can be declared as boolean with the Public or Dim
statement.

NOTE

The display configuration of the Ports & Flags window will persist for the
current datalogger upon exit and is restored when you connect later to the same
datalogger and open the Ports & Flags window.

7.3 Table Monitor

The Table Monitor window displays data items from a datalogger on a “table-
by-table” basis. Up to three tables may be displayed at the same time in each
Table Monitor window. Fields within a table may not be selected for
individual display. All fields from each selected table will be displayed
together.

7.3.1 Using the Table Monitor

To use the Table Monitor, ensure that you are connected to a datalogger, then
select the Monitor Data tab. Click on the button labeled Table Monitor.
