Section 16. Support Software
PC / Windows(R) compatible software products are available from Campbell
Scientific to facilitate CR1000 programming, maintenance, data retrieval, and
data presentation. Short Cut, PC200W, and Visual Weather are designed for
novice integrators, but have features useful in advanced applications. PC400
and LoggerNet provide increasing levels of power required for advanced
integration, programming and networking applications. Support software for
PDA and Linux applications are also available.
16.1 Short Cut
Short Cut utilizes an intuitive user interface to create CR1000 program code for
common measurement applications. It presents lists from which sensors,
engineering units, and data output formats are selected. It supports by name
most sensors sold by Campbell Scientific. It features “generic” measurement
routines, enabling it to support many sensors from other manufacturers.
Programs created by Short Cut are automatically well documented and produce
examples of CRBASIC programming that can be used as source or reference
code for more complex programs edited with CRBASIC Editor.
Short Cut is included with PC200W, Visual Weather, PC400, RTDAQ, and
LoggerNet and is available at no charge from the Campbell Scientific web site.
16.2 PC200W
PC200W utilizes an intuitive user interface to support direct serial
communication to the CR1000 via COM / RS-232 ports. It sends programs,
collects data, and facilitates monitoring of digital measurement and process
values. PC200W is available at no charge from the Campbell Scientific web
site.
16.3 Visual Weather
Visual Weather supports weather stations. It is recommended in applications
wherein the user requires minimal control over programming and the pre-
configured display and reporting features. Visual Weather is highly integrated
and easy to use.
16.4 PC400
PC400 is a mid-level software suite. It includes CRBASIC Editor, point-to-
point communications over several communications protocols, simple real-time
digital and graphical monitors, and report generation. It does not support
scheduled collection or multi-mode communication networks.
16.5 LoggerNet Suite
The LoggerNet suite utilizes a client-server architecture that facilitates a wide
range of applications and enables tailoring software acquisition to specific
requirements. TABLE 16.5-1 lists features of L
oggerNet products that include
