4.7 Sending a Program to the Datalogger
The CR1000 type datalogger accepts text programs written with CRBasic
syntax and automatically compiles these programs before running them. As
long as the program contains correct CRBasic syntax, the datalogger should
compile and run the program.
Use the File Download transaction to send the program from the application to
the datalogger. The file name and device memory location must be specified.
Possible locations for storing files in the CR1000 type datalogger include CPU,
USR, and CRD.
The CR1000 type datalogger looks at the file extension provided with the file
name and attempts to compile the program appropriately. For example, a file
name of “CPU:ProgName.CR1” will be compiled as a new datalogger program
in datalogger memory. Possible file extensions include “.CR1”, which
designates a datalogger program and “.OBJ”, which designates a datalogger
operating system.
The complexity of sending a program to the datalogger is shown in the
following diagram.
