Appendix A. Importing Short Cut Code

5. The program can now be edited, saved, and sent to the datalogger.

6. Import wiring information to the program by opening the associated .DEF

file. Copy and paste the section beginning with heading “-Wiring for

CRXXX–” into the CRBasic program, usually at the head of the file.

After pasting, edit the information such that a

' character (single quotation

mark) begins each line. This character instructs the datalogger compiler to

ignore the line when compiling the datalogger code.

A.1.2 Edlog

Use the following procedure to import Short Cut code into the Edlog program

editor (CR10(X), CR500, CR510, and CR23X dataloggers).

1. Create the Short Cut program following the procedure in Section 4,

Quickstart. Finish the program and exit Short Cut. Make note of the file

name used when saving the Short Cut program.

2. Open Edlog.

3. Click

File | Document DLD File. Assuming the default paths were used

when Short Cut was installed, navigate to C:\CampbellSci\SCWin folder.

The file of interest has a “.DLD” extension. Select the file and click

Open. The .dld file, which is a type of ASCII machine code, is imported,

documented, and, when saved, given a “.CSI” extension.

4. Immediately save the file in a folder different from \Campbellsci\SCWin,

or save the file with a different file name.

Once the file is edited with Edlog, Short Cut can no longer be used

to edit the program. Change the name of the program file or move

it, or Short Cut may overwrite it.

5. The program can now be edited, saved, and sent to the datalogger.

6. Import wiring information to the program by opening the associated .DEF

file. Copy and paste the section beginning with heading “-Wiring for

CRXXX–” into the Edlog program, usually at the head of the file. After

pasting, edit the information such that a

; (semicolon) begins each line,

which instructs the datalogger compiler to ignore the line when compiling

the datalogger code.
