Program
The Basic Program can be viewed or
debugged using the View and Debug
buttons. It is a good idea to test (Debug)
each Basic program before enabling
scanning to verify the program will run
as expected.
Any special variables, known as
Symbols, within the Basic Program will
be listed in the Variable’s box. These
variables can be modified individually
for each Task by using the Edit Value
button, allowing the same Program to
be used in different circumstances, if
desired.
More information regarding Basic can be found in Chapter 7 of this manual as well as within the
Basic 5000 User Manual, downloadable from the waterlog.com web site.
If the Program saves a value to the calling Task, the Test button may be used to retrieve the
Value determined by the Program. If a value is not found, No Value will be displayed.
Math & Data Options are not available for use with Basic Programs.
Battery Voltage
The Battery Voltage retrieves the voltage
across the Power +12V and Ground (Gnd)
inputs located on the upper block of the
front panel.
Generally, a battery is connected to and
provides power to the System 5000
™
. As
a good battery is key to a healthy data
logging system, having access to this value
can be very beneficial. No extra properties
are available for the Battery Voltage,
however if more complex operations are
desired, the Math & Data Options can be
used.
