5.3.7.3 Custom Menus — Overview
CRBasic programming in the CR800 facilitates creation of custom menus for the
CR1000KD Keyboard/Display.
Figure Custom Menu Example
(p. 82) shows windows from a simple custom menu
named DataView by the programmer. DataView appears in place of the default
main menu on the keyboard display. As shown, DataView has menu item
Counter, and submenus PanelTemps, TCTemps and System Menu. Counter
allows selection of one of four values. Each submenu displays two values from
CR800 memory. PanelTemps shows the CR800 wiring-panel temperature at each
scan, and the one-minute sample of panel temperature. TCTemps displays two
thermocouple temperatures.

5.4 Measurement and Control Peripherals — Overview
Modules are available from Campbell Scientific to expand the number of
terminals on the CR800. These include:
Multiplexers
Multiplexers increase the input capacity of terminals configured for analog-
input, and the output capacity of Vx excitation terminals.
SDM Devices
Serial Device for Measurement expand the input and output capacity of the
CR800. These devices connect to the CR800 through terminals C1, C2, and
C3.
