Annex 1: Installation and Operation Instructions for PCTour
1. General
PCTour is a DOS based software package provided by Campbell Scientific. It concerns a computer based guided
tutorial that presents basic concepts of CR10X and software operations. For example, the functions of the I/O
channels are discussed, as well as the concepts of Input, Intermediate, and Final Storage.
PCTour also briefly discusses PC208 software, including a discussion on EDLOG and SPLIT.
It is advised to go through this tutorial to grasp the basic concepts behind the BOUY_METSTAT datalogger
program.
