Section 4. Quickstart
• Data Retrieval and Comms (p. 38) — Data are copied (not moved) from
the CR800, usually to a PC, by one or more methods using datalogger
support software. Most of these comms options are bi-directional, which
allows programs and settings to be sent to the CR800.
• Datalogger Support Software
(p. 39) — Software retrieves data and sends
programs and settings. The software manages the comms link and has
options for data display.
• Programmable Logic Control
(p. 87) — Some data acquisition systems
require the control of external devices to facilitate a measurement or to
control a device based on measurements. The CR800 is adept at
programmable logic control.
• Measurement and Control Peripherals
(p. 82) — Sometimes, system
requirements exceed the capacity of the CR800. The excess can usually
be handled by addition of input and output expansion modules.
