Appendix B. Status Table and Settings
The CR1000 Status table contains system operating-status information accessible
via the external keyboard / display
(p. 567),
DevConfig
(p. 92),
or datalogger support
software
(p. 77).
Table Common Uses of the Status Table
(p. 527)
lists some of the
more common uses of Status-table information. Table Status-Table Fields and
Descriptions
(p. 528)
is a comprehensive list of Status-table registers with brief
descriptions.
Status-table information is easily viewed in Station Status in the datalogger
support software. However, be aware that information presented in Station
Status is not automatically updated. Click the refresh button each time an update
is desired. Alternatively, use the numeric displays of the Connect screen to show
critical values and have these update automatically, or use DevConfig, which polls
the Status table at regular intervals without use of a refresh button.
Note A lot of communications bandwidth and activity are needed to generate the
Status table, so if the CR1000 is very tight on time, just getting the Status table
itself repeatedly could push timing over the edge and cause skipped scans.
Through the continued development of the operating system, the Status table has
become quite large. A separate settings table has been introduced to slow the
growth of the Status table. To maintain backward compatibility, settings first
included in the Status table have been retained, but are also included in the
Settings Editor in DevConfig
(p. 92).
