Section 4. System Quickstart 4.6 Datalogger Support Software - Quickstart Reading List: • Datalogger Support Software - Quickstart (p. 40) • Datalogger Support Software - Overview (p. 89) • Datalogger Support Software - Details (p. 445) • Datalogger Support Software - Lists (p. 604) Datalogger support software are PC or Linux software available from Campbell Scientific that facilitate communication between the computer and the CR6. A wide array of software are available, but this section focuses on the following: • Short Cut Program Generator for Windows (SCWin) • PC200W Datalogger Starter Software for Windows • LoggerLink Mobile Datalogger Starter software for iOS and Android A CRBasic program must be loaded into the CR6 to enable it to make measurements, read sensors, and store data. Short Cut is used to write simple CRBasic programs without the need to learn the CRBasic programming language. Short Cut is an easy-to-use wizard that steps you through the program building process. After the CRBasic program is written, it is loaded onto the CR6. Then, after sufficient time has elapsed for measurements to be made and data to be stored, data are retrieved to a computer. These functions are supported by PC200W and LoggerLink Mobile. Short Cut and PC200W are available at no charge at www.campbellsci.com/downloads (http://www.campbellsci.com/downloads).
