Section 7. Installation CRBasic Example 13. Foreign‐Language Support 'Declare a constant to concatenate six non-English characters Const PTempUnits = CHR(HexToDec ("C9"))+ CHR(HexToDec ("E3"))+ CHR(HexToDec("CA")) _ + CHR(HexToDec ("CF")) + CHR(HexToDec("B6")) + CHR(HexToDec ("C8")) 'Declare a constant to concatenate four non-English characters Const PTempAlias = CHR(HexToDec ("CE"))+ CHR(HexToDec ("C2")) + CHR(HexToDec("B6")) _ + CHR(HexToDec ("C8")) 'Declare as Alias and Units non-English words concatenated above Alias PTemp = PTempAlias Units PTemp = PTempUnits 7.7.3.5 Declared Sequences Declaration sequences include DataTable() / EndTable and Sub() / EndSub. Certain sequences that may be incidental to a specific application also need to be declared. These include ShutDown / ShutdownEnd, DialSequence() / EndDialSequence, ModemHangup() / EndModemHangup, and WebPageBegin() / WebPageEnd sequences. Declaration sequences can be located: 1. prior to BeginProg 2. after EndSequence or an infinite Scan() / NextScan and before EndProg or SlowSequence 3. immediately following SlowSequence. SlowSequence code starts executing after any declaration sequence. Only declaration sequences can occur after EndSequence and before SlowSequence or EndProg. 7.7.3.5.1 Data Tables Data are stored in tables as directed by the CRBasic program. A data table is created by a series of CRBasic instructions entered after variable declarations but before the BeginProg instruction. These instructions include: DataTable() 'Output Trigger Condition(s) 'Output Processing Instructions EndTable A data table is essentially a file that resides in CR800 memory. The file is written to each time data are directed to that file. The trigger that initiates data storage is tripped either by the CR800's clock, or by an event, such as a high temperature. Up to 30 data tables can be created by the program. The data tables may store individual measurements, individual calculated values, or summary data such as averages, maxima, or minima to data tables. Each data table is associated with overhead information that becomes part of the ASCII file header (first few lines of the file) when data are downloaded to a PC. Overhead information includes: • table format • datalogger type and operating system version, 125

7.7.3.5 Declared Sequences

Declaration sequences include

DataTable()

EndTable

and

Sub()

EndSub

Certain sequences that may be incidental to a specific application also need to be

declared. These include

ShutDown

ShutdownEnd

DialSequence()

EndDialSequence

ModemHangup()

EndModemHangup

, and

WebPageBegin()

WebPageEnd

sequences. Declaration sequences can be

located:

1. prior to

BeginProg

2. after

EndSequence

or an infinite

Scan()

NextScan

and before

EndProg

SlowSequence

3. immediately following

SlowSequence.

SlowSequence

code starts executing

after any declaration sequence. Only declaration sequences can occur after

EndSequence

and before

SlowSequence

EndProg

7.7.3.5.1 Data Tables

Data are stored in tables as directed by the CRBasic program. A data table is

created by a series of CRBasic instructions entered after variable declarations but

before the

BeginProg

instruction. These instructions include:

DataTable()

'Output Trigger Condition(s)

'Output Processing Instructions

EndTable

A data table is essentially a file that resides in CR800 memory. The file is written

to each time data are directed to that file. The trigger that initiates data storage is

tripped either by the CR800's clock, or by an event, such as a high temperature.

Up to 30 data tables can be created by the program. The data tables may store

individual measurements, individual calculated values, or summary data such as

averages, maxima, or minima to data tables.

Each data table is associated with overhead information that becomes part of the

ASCII file header (first few lines of the file) when data are downloaded to a PC.

Overhead information includes:

•

table format

•

datalogger type and operating system version,
