Section 7. Creating and Editing Datalogger Programs

If you are trying to minimize the size of your DLD file but still want to be able

to monitor input locations in the software, you can put all of the labels that you

want to view at the beginning of your list of input locations, and put the labels

for scratch and less important values at the end. Then, use the second option

above to display only those values of interest.

7.4.16 Power Up Settings/Compile Settings

These two options allow you to clear or retain settings for ports, flags, storage

locations, and timers when the datalogger is powered-up or when a program is

compiled. Whether it is advantageous to clear or retain these settings depends

on your application. For most applications, it is best to keep the default option

of Do not change current datalogger Power-up settings. The affected settings

are:

Port Status – The state of the ports (high/low) the last time the datalogger

was on.

Flag Status – The state of the flags (high/low) the last time the datalogger

was on.

User Timer – Allows you to continue timing events that occurred when

the datalogger was on last.

Input Storage – Allows the values that were stored in the input locations

before you turned the datalogger off to be included in the sample, average,

and total when you turn the datalogger back on.

Intermediate Storage – Allows data processing to continue from when

the datalogger was on last.

Not all dataloggers have a Compile Settings option. This option

refers only to the CR510, CR10X, and CR23X.

7.4.17 Datalogger Serial Port Settings

The serial port settings are used to set the baud rate to which the datalogger’s

port(s) should be set when the datalogger is powered-up or when a program is

compiled. If the “Do not change current CS I/O Port settings” option is

selected, the baud rate option used will be that at which the datalogger is

currently using.

When the “Fixed Baud Rate” check box has been selected, the datalogger is

forced to communicate at the baud rate selected. When it is not selected, the

datalogger will first try to use the initial baud rate, but will try the other baud

rates if it cannot connect.

The CR23X has an “RS232 Power Always On” check box. This keeps the

power to the RS232 port on at all times. In some instances, this may be

desirable but it consumes much more power than when the datalogger turns on

the port as needed.

Not all dataloggers have a Serial Port Settings option. This option

refers only to the CR510, CR10X, and CR23X.
