Section 4. System Quickstart
4.7.4 Write CRBasic Program with Short Cut
Short Cut objectives:
• Create a program to measure the voltage of the CR1000 power supply,
temperature of the CR1000 wiring-panel, and ambient air temperature using a
thermocouple.
• When program is downloaded to the CR1000, it takes samples once per
second and stores averages of these values at one-minute intervals.

4.7.4.1 Procedure: (Short Cut Steps 1 to 5)
1. Click on the Short Cut icon in the upper-right corner of the PC200W window.
The icon resembles a clock face.
2. The Short Cut window is shown. Click New Program.
3. In the Datalogger Model drop-down list, select CR1000.
4. In the Scan Interval box, enter 1 and select Seconds in the drop-down list box.
Click Next.
Note The first time Short Cut is run, a prompt will appear asking for a choice of
ac noise rejection. Select 60 Hz for the United States and areas using 60 Hz ac
voltage. Select 50 Hz for most of Europe and areas that operate at 50 Hz.
A second prompt lists sensor support options. Campbell Scientific, Inc. (US) is
probably the best fit if you are outside Europe.
5. The next window displays Available Sensors and Devices. Expand the
Sensors folder by clicking on the
symbol. This shows several sub-folders.
Expand the Temperature folder to view available sensors. Note that a wiring
panel temperature (PTemp_C in the Selected column) is selected by default.
