Datalogger support software are PC or Linux software available from Campbell
Scientific that facilitate communication between the computer and the CR1000.
A wide array of software are available, but this section focuses on the following:
•
Short Cut
Program Generator for Windows (SCWin)
•
PC200W
Datalogger Starter Software for Windows
•
LoggerLink
Mobile Datalogger Starter software for iOS and Android
A CRBasic program must be loaded into the CR1000 to enable it to make
measurements, read sensors, and store data.
Short Cut
is used to write simple
CRBasic programs without the need to learn the CRBasic programming language.
Short Cut
is an easy-to-use wizard that steps you through the program building
process.
After the CRBasic program is written, it is loaded onto the CR1000. Then, after
sufficient time has elapsed for measurements to be made and data to be stored,
data are retrieved to a computer. These functions are supported by
PC200W
and
LoggerLink Mobile
.
Short Cut
and
PC200W
are available at no charge at
