7.8.7 Conditional Compilation
When a CRBasic user program is sent to the CR3000, an exact copy of the
program is saved as a file on the CPU: drive
(p. 336).
A binary version of the
program, the "operating program", is created by the CR3000 compiler and written
to Operating Memory
(p. 337).
This is the program version that runs the CR3000.
CRBasic allows definition of # conditional code in the user program that the
CR3000 compiler includes, depending on the conditional settings, in the operating
program. This means the user-written program is evaluated for conditional
statements and an operating program that includes only the requested statements
is written to operating memory. In addition, all CRBasic dataloggers accept
program files or Include() instruction files with .DLD extensions. This gets
around the system filters that look at file extensions for specific loggers; it makes
possible the writing of a single file of code to run on multiple CRBasic
dataloggers.
