2.2.3.2.2

Procedure (PC200W Steps 2–4)

1. Click the Set Clock button to synchronize the datalogger's clock with

the computer's clock.

2. Click on the Send Program button. A window will appear warning that

data on the datalogger will be erased. Answer "yes" to the prompt.

Another window will open. Browse to the C:\CampbellSci\SCWin

folder, select the

QuickStart.CR2 file, and then click the Open button.

A status bar will appear while the program is sent to the CR200(X)

followed by a confirmation that the transfer was successful. Click OK

to close this window.

3. After sending a program to the CR200(X), a good practice is to

monitor the measurements to ensure they are reasonable. Select the

Monitor Data tab. The window now displays data found in the Public

Table coming from the CR200(X). To view the OneMin table, select an

empty cell in the display area, and then click on the Add button.
