7.4 Programming
Short Cut is the best source for up-to-date datalogger programming code.
Programming code is needed,
•
when creating a program for a new datalogger installation
•
when adding sensors to an existing datalogger program
If your data acquisition requirements are simple, you can probably create and
maintain a datalogger program exclusively with Short Cut. If your data
acquisition needs are more complex, the files that Short Cut creates are a great
source for programming code to start a new program or add to an existing
custom program.
Short Cut cannot edit programs after they are imported and edited
in CRBasic Editor.
A Short Cut tutorial is available in Section 4, Quickstart. If you wish to import
Short Cut code into either Edlog or CRBasic Editor to create or add to a
customized program, follow the procedure in Appendix A, Importing Short Cut
Code Into CRBasic or Edlog Editor. Programming basics for CRBasic and
Edlog dataloggers are provided below. Complete program examples for select
dataloggers can be found in Appendix B, Example Programs.
The output from the CS300 is 0.2 mV per Wm
–2
. The voltage signal from the
CS300 is measured using the single-ended voltage instruction (
VoltSE in
CRBasic or
Volt (SE) (P1) in Edlog). Dataloggers that use CRBasic include
the CR200(X), CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000, CR5000, and CR9000(X).
Dataloggers that use Edlog include CR7, CR10(X), CR510, and CR23X.
Solar radiation can be recorded as an average flux density (W m
–2
) or daily
total flux (MJ m
–2
). The appropriate multipliers are listed in TABLE 7-2.
Negative values should be set to zero before being processed.
