2.2.3.1 Programming With Short Cut
2.2.3.1.1 Short Cut Programming Objectives
This portion of the tutorial will use Short Cut to create a program that measures
air temperature (°C) with a 109 Temperature Probe, and rainfall (mm) with a
TE525WS rain gage. The CR200(X) will take samples every ten seconds and
store averages of these values at one minute intervals.
Even if the 109 Temperature Probe and TE525WS Rain Gage sensors are not
available, the programming example can still be followed. Without a 109 probe
connected the measurement result will be NAN; without a TE525WS connected
the measurement result will be 0. A rain gage can be simulated by straightening
a segment of each of two paper clips and inserting the straightened segment of
one paper clip into P_SW and the adjacent ground channel. To simulate a rain
gage tip, squeeze the paper clips together until they touch and then allow them
to spring apart.
2.2.3.1.2 Procedure (Short Cut Steps 1–6)
1. Click on the Short Cut icon in the upper-right corner of the PC200W
window. The icon resembles a clock face.
