Programming

Short Cut is the best source for up-to-date data logger programming code.

If data acquisition requirements are simple, a data logger program can probably be created and maintained exclusively with Short Cut. If your data acquisition needs are more complex, the files that Short Cut creates are a great source for programming code to start a new program or add to an existing custom program.

A Short Cut tutorial is available in QuickStart. To import Short Cut code into CRBasic Editor to create or add to a customized program, follow the procedure in Importing Short Cut code into CRBasic Editor. Programming basics for CRBasic data loggers are provided in the following sections. A complete program example for the CR1000X data logger can be found in Example program. Programming basics and programming examples for Edlog data loggers are provided at www.campbellsci.com\old-manuals .
