Section 7. Creating and Editing Datalogger Programs

7.3.2 Inserting Instructions

An instruction can be easily inserted into the program by highlighting it in the

Instruction Panel list and pressing the

Insert button or by double-clicking the

instruction name. If an instruction has one or more parameters, an instruction

dialog box will be displayed to facilitate editing the parameters. Complete the

information in the parameter fields and press Insert to paste the instruction into

the program. (You may disable this instruction dialog box by clearing the

option in the

View | Instruction Panel Preferences | Show Instruction

Dialog check box.)

You can filter the list of instructions available in the Instruction Panel by

clicking the drop-down arrow to the right of the text box above the list. This

will allow you to display only instructions of a specific type such as

Measurement or Program Structure/Control. This provides a smaller list to

select from and makes it easier to find the instruction you want. Switch back to

All to see all of the instructions available. You can create custom instruction

filter lists as described later in this section.

7.3.2.1 Parameter Dialog Box

The

Parameter dialog box will appear when an instruction is added that has

one or more parameters or when the cursor is placed on an existing instruction

and the right mouse button is pressed. This dialog box contains a field for each

of the parameters in the instruction. Edit these fields as necessary and then

press the

Insert button to paste the instruction into the program.
