Campbell Scientific datalogger support software is PC or Linux software that 
facilitates comms between the computer and the CR800.    A wide array of 
software are available. 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 CR800 to enable it to make 
measurements, read sensors, and store data.    Use Short Cut 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 CR800.    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.
