The CR1000 is shipped factory-ready with an operating system (OS) installed.
Settings default to those necessary to communicate with a PC via RS-232 and to
accept and execute user-application programs. For more complex applications,
some settings may need adjustment. Settings can be changed with the following:
• DevConfig (Device Configuration Utility). See section Device Configuration
Utility
(p. 111) )
• CR1000KD Keyboard Display. See section Keyboard Display — Details
(p.
451)
and the appendix Keyboard Display — List (p. 651)
• Datalogger support software. See section Datalogger Support Software —
Overview
(p. 95).
OS files are sent to the CR1000 with DevConfig or through the program Send
button in datalogger support software. When the OS is sent with DevConfig, most
settings are cleared, whereas, when sent with datalogger support software, most
settings are retained. Operating systems can also be transferred to the CR1000
with a Campbell Scientific mass storage device or memory card.
OS updates are occasionally made available at www.campbellsci.com. OS and
settings remain intact when power is cycled.

A CRBasic program directs the CR1000 how and when sensors are to be
measured, calculations made, and data stored. A program is created on a PC and
sent to the CR1000. The CR1000 can store a number of programs in memory, but
only one program is active at a given time. Two Campbell Scientific software
applications, Short Cut and CRBasic Editor, are used to create CR1000 programs.
• Short Cut creates a datalogger program and wiring diagram in four easy steps.
It supports most sensors sold by Campbell Scientific and is recommended for
creating simple programs to measure sensors and store data.
• Programs generated by Short Cut are easily imported into CRBasic Editor for
additional editing. For complex applications, experienced programmers often
create essential measurement and data storage code with Short Cut, then add
more complex code with CRBasic Editor.
