Campbell Scientific LoggerNet Datalogger Support Software - Manual (Page 145)

Section 5. Real-Time Tools
Different datalogger models have a different number of ports and flags. The
Ports and Flags dialog box will display only those ports and flags available for
the datalogger type. Behaviors for each datalogger type are shown below.
• Mixed array dataloggers have a fixed number of ports and user flags that
are available. The ports and flags dialog box will display only the ports
and flags supported by the datalogger; no additional values can be added.
The Defaults button will reset any user-defined labels that have been
typed in.
• CR1000, CR3000, CR800, CR5000, and CR9000X dataloggers do not
have predefined flags. The first time a program is sent to a datalogger,
LoggerNet will look for a Public array with the name of Flag in the
program. If a Flag array is found, the declared flags will be added to the
Ports and Flags dialog box. The number of flags that will be added is
limited by the number of cells available on the Ports and Flags display.
CR800, CR1000, and CR3000 dataloggers have ports that can be toggled
from this display; they will be displayed in the first column and the
remaining cells will be available to display flags and other Boolean values
in the program. The CR5000’s and CR9000X’s ports cannot be controlled
from this display, so all cells will be available for Flags and Boolean
values. For these five dataloggers, pressing Defaults will reset all labels
to their original names, update the number of flags based on the currently
running program, and remove any Boolean values placed on the screen.
• CR9000 and CR200 dataloggers do not have ports that can be toggled
from this display. They also do not have predefined flags or support the
declaration of variables as Boolean. The Ports and Flags dialog will
display one to three columns, depending upon the number of flags defined
in the program. Pressing Defaults will reset all labels to their original
names and update the number of flags based on the currently running
program.
A Boolean variable is a variable that can have one of two states:
high/low, off/on, –1/0, true/false. Variables for CRBasic
dataloggers can be declared as Boolean with the Public or Dim
statement.
