Section 5. Real-Time Tools

To summarize, any change in data table structure will delete all tables

on the datalogger’s CPU, regardless of whether or not the Preserve

Data option was chosen. If the Preserve Data option was chosen but

the datalogger was unable to retain the existing data, the following

message will appear in the Compile Results: Warning: Internal Data

Storage Memory was re-initialized.

CR9000(X)/CR5000 Datalogger Run Now Options

The Run Now options and behavior for the CR9000(X) and CR5000

dataloggers are different from the CR1000, CR3000, and CR800

Series dataloggers. Below is a dialog box for a CR5000 datalogger.

When Run Now is checked, the program is compiled and run in the

datalogger. All data tables on the CPU are erased. You have the

option of whether or not to erase data files stored on a card.

Run On Power-up
The file will be sent with the Run On Power-up attribute set. The

program will be run if the datalogger loses power and then powers

back up.

Run Always
Run Now and Run On Power-up can both be selected. This sets the

program’s file attribute in the datalogger as Run Always. The

program will be compiled and run immediately and it will also be the

program that runs if the datalogger is powered down and powered

back up.

Pressing

Run Options to restart a stopped program in the CR1000, CR3000, or

CR800 displays a different dialog box. From the dialog box you choose

Restart Program

to begin running the selected program immediately. You can

also select an option button to determine whether or not the data tables

previously created by the program are erased or retained. Note that you cannot

change the

Run on Power-up option when restarting a program.
