simple CRBasic programs without the need to learn the CRBasic 
programming language 
•  PC200W Datalogger Starter Software for Windows — Supports only 
direct serial connection to the CR800 with hardwire or select Campbell 
Scientific radios. It supports sending a CRBasic program, data collection, 
and setting the CR800 clock; available at no charge at 
www.campbellsci.com/downloads 
•  LoggerLink Mobile Apps — Simple tools that allow an iOS or Android 
device to communicate with IP, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth enabled CR800s; 
includes most PC200W functionality. 
•  PC400 Datalogger Support Software — Includes PC200W functions, 
CRBasic Editor, and supports all Campbell Scientific communications 
hardware, except satellite, in attended mode
