Set Datalogger Type

The CRBasic Editor displays instruction lists and help files based on the type of datalogger file opened. The compiler used when a program is compiled is also based on the datalogger type. Often, the help files and compiler are set based upon a specific datalogger extension (for example, *.CR1X or *.CR6). However, if a program file has a generic program extension (for example, .DLD or .CRB), the datalogger type must be selected in the 'Set Datalogger Type' dialog box (Tools | Set Datalogger Type).

Within the 'Set Datalogger Type' dialog box, select a datalogger type and then click OK. If you are writing a program that uses conditional compilation, you can select one datalogger type and compile the program and then select a second datalogger type and compile the program (thus checking the code for both dataloggers).
