Tools menu. More information about these tools is provided later in this
manual.
4.1.2 Datalogger Connectivity, Help and Program Exit
RTDAQ supports the major CRBasic dataloggers, including the CR800,
CR850, CR1000, CR3000, CR5000, and CR9000X.
RTDAQ supports one medium of communications for any given datalogger.
These media include direct connect via serial communications (or RS-232) via
local serial cable, short haul modems, other “transparent” links, telephone,
TAPI, TCP/IP, VHF/UHF radios, RF400-series spread spectrum radios, and
multidrop interfaces (MD9 and MD485).
RTDAQ does not support parallel port communications, RF95T modems, or
multiple media (such as phone-to-RF). RTDAQ is designed to use PakBus
dataloggers and other PakBus devices in their default configurations; they are
not supported as PakBus routers.
In order to be easy to use, RTDAQ relies on user-attended communications. It
does not provide for automated scheduled data collection or automated clock
checks. It does not support remote connections from other PCs.
Help for each application is available from the Help menu item, or by moving
the focus to a control (by clicking on or tabbing to a control) and pressing F1.
To exit RTDAQ, either click the [X] in the upper right hand corner of the main
screen, or select Exit under the File menu.
4.2 EZSetup Wizard
Dataloggers are added to the network with the EZSetup Wizard. This Wizard
is also used to edit the settings for a datalogger after it’s been added. The
EZSetup Wizard is automatically displayed when RTDAQ is run for the first
time.
4.2.1 Add Datalogger
When RTDAQ is not connected to a datalogger, you may add a datalogger to
your network map by selecting the Add Datalogger button or by choosing
Network | Add Datalogger from the menu. The EZ Setup Wizard will appear
allowing you to select and configure your new datalogger.
