Section 7. Creating and Editing Datalogger Programs
• Save as .CRB File: Saves highlighted text to a file with a *.CRB
extension. This file is referred to as a “library file”. The file can then be
reused by inserting it into another CRBasic program.
• Insert File: Inserts a library file into the current program overwriting the
highlighted text.
7.3.3 Toolbar
The toolbar of the CRBasic Editor provides easy access to frequently used
operations.
New – Creates a new program window to start writing a new
program. If you have defined a default template, the new program
will start with the defined template instructions.
Open – Brings up a File Open dialog to select a program file to open.
File extension filters are provided to list only files of a certain type
such as .cr5 files for CR5000 programs. Data files (*.dat) can also
be opened.
Save – Saves any changes to the currently opened program. If this is
a new program and has not been saved yet, a Save As dialog will
prompt you for the file name and location to save the file. A table
definition file (*.tdf) of the same name as the saved program will also
be created. Refer to the online documentation for more information
about using table definition files.
Compile, Save, and Send – Saves any changes to the currently
opened program, checks it for errors with the pre-compiler, and sends
the file to the datalogger via LoggerNet, PC400, or RTDAQ.
LoggerNet, PC400, or RTDAQ must be running for this function to
work properly.
Print – Prints the currently opened program.
