Section 4. The RTDAQ Main Screen
The RTDAQ main screen consists of a Title Bar, Menu Bar, Toolbar,
Datalogger Network Map, Clock/Program tab, Monitor Data tab, Collect
Data tab, and Status Bar as shown here:
The Title Bar shows the RTDAQ application name and version, as well as the
datalogger station name and model name currently highlighted for selection or
connection. The Menu Bar, Toolbar, Clock/Program tab, Monitor Data tab,
and Collect Data tab are described in more detail later in this chapter.
The Network Map shows which loggers have been configured for connection
within the system. You can connect to a datalogger by double-clicking on its
icon, or by selecting it and pressing the Connect button on the Toolbar.
RTDAQ connects to only one datalogger at any one time. The Status Bar is
used to show the current connection status (and connection time if connected)
for the selected datalogger.
RTDAQ provides additional tools for working with your dataloggers and data.
RTMC support is provided for viewing live data in a customized display.
Split, View Pro, and CardConvert are used to examine and process data files.
Short Cut and the CR5000/CR9000X Program Generator (ProgGen) can be
used to generate datalogger programs, and the CRBasic Editor is provided for
more advanced datalogger program editing. DevConfig is used to configure
settings in dataloggers and other peripheral devices. These tools are accessed
