Section 2. Program: EDLOG
This section is intended to explain the use of the Edlog program generator. For
information on writing datalogger programs, refer to your datalogger User’s Manual.
2.1 Introduction
Choosing PROGRAM from the main PC208W toolbar invokes the program
EDLOG. EDLOG is a tool for creating, editing, and documenting programs
for the CR7, CR10, CR10X, CR500, CR510, CR23X, and 21X dataloggers.
EDLOG annotates the numeric instructions and parameters that are sent to the
datalogger. Instructions and parameters can be picked from lists or entered
manually, and are easily edited, moved, or deleted.
Some highlights of EDLOG’s features are listed below.
Context-Sensitive Help
If you need help with an instruction or parameter, press the right mouse button.
The right mouse button brings up editor options, pick lists or pop-up help for
where you’re pointing. Detailed help is available for the cursor location by
pressing <F1> or from a button on the pick list. Help, pick lists, and edit
functions are also available from the menus or toolbar.
Cut and Paste
Several programs can be open simultaneously, simplifying cutting and pasting
between programs for the same datalogger.
Input Location Labels
Measurement results and calculations are stored in datalogger Input Locations.
EDLOG allows labeling these locations. For many applications, EDLOG will
manage the use of Input Locations. A new Input Location label is
automatically assigned the next available Input Location number (address).
That Input Location can be picked from a list for further calculations or output.
The Input Location Editor (Section 2.7.3) allows the Input Locations to be
edited (moved, inserted, deleted); the Input Location numbers are
automatically changed wherever the labels appear in the program.
When a section of code is pasted into a program, EDLOG will automatically
use existing locations for matching labels and assign locations to new labels.
All location numbers in the pasted code are updated accordingly.
The programmer that wants to assign labels to specific Input Locations may
find it easiest to enter the labels in the Input Location Editor first and then pick
them from a list as the program is written.
