Campbell Scientific CR200/CR200X-series Dataloggers - Manual (Page 155)

Section 16. Support Software
PC / Windows ® compatible software products are available from Campbell
Scientific to facilitate CR200(X) programming, maintenance, data retrieval, and
data presentation. Short Cut, PC200W, and Visual Weather are designed for
novice integrators, but have features useful in advanced applications. PC400 and
LoggerNet provide increasing levels of power required for advanced integration,
programming and networking applications. Support software for PDA and
Linux applications are also available.
A recent addition to the support software line-up is the Campbell Scientific
Network Planner, which assists in the configuration of networks.
16.1 Short Cut
Short Cut utilizes an intuitive user interface to create CR200(X) program code
for common measurement applications. It presents lists from which sensors,
engineering units, and data output formats are selected. It supports by name
most sensors sold by Campbell Scientific. It features "generic" measurement
routines, enabling it to support many sensors from other manufacturers.
Programs created by Short Cut are automatically well documented and produce
examples of CRBASIC programming that can be used as source or reference
code for more complex programs edited with CRBASIC Editor.
Short Cut is included with PC200W, Visual Weather, PC400, RTDAQ, and
LoggerNet and is available at no charge from the Campbell Scientific web site.
16.2 PC200W
PC200W utilizes an intuitive user interface to support direct serial
communication to the CR200(X) via COM / RS-232 ports. It sends programs,
collects data, and facilitates monitoring of digital measurement and process
values. PC200W is available at no charge from the Campbell Scientific web
site.
16.3 Visual Weather
Visual Weather supports weather stations. It is recommended in applications
wherein the user requires minimal control over programming and the pre-
configured display and reporting features. Visual Weather is highly integrated
and easy to use.
