7. Installation
If you are programming your data logger with Short Cut, skip Wiring to data logger (p. 6) and
Data logger programming (p. 6). Short Cut does this work for you. See QuickStart (p. 1) for a Short
Cut tutorial.

U terminals are automatically configured by the measurement instruction.
7.2 Data logger programming
Short Cut is the best source for up-to-date data logger programming code.
If your data acquisition requirements are simple, you can probably create and maintain a data
logger program exclusively with Short Cut. If your data acquisition needs are more complex, the
files that Short Cut creates are a great source for programming code to start a new program or
add to an existing custom program.
NOTE:
Short Cut cannot edit programs after they are imported and edited in CRBasic Editor.
A Short Cut tutorial is available in QuickStart (p. 1). If you wish to import Short Cut code into
CRBasic Editor to create or add to a customized program, follow the procedure in Importing
Short Cut code into CRBasic Editor (p. 14). Programming basics are provided in the following
section. A complete program example can be found in Example program (p. 15).
