Datalogger support software handles communication between a computer or
device and the CR800. A wide array of software are available, but the following
are the most commonly used:
• Short Cut Program Generator for Windows (SCWin) — Generates
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
• LoggerNet Datalogger Support Software — Includes all PC400 functions
