Creating A Program In Short Cut - Campbell CR300 series Getting Started Manual

5. Creating a program in Short
Cut
Use the Short Cut software to generate a program for your datalogger. Short Cut is included with
your datalogger support software.
This section will guide you through programming a CR300 series datalogger to measure the
voltage of the datalogger power supply, the internal temperature of the datalogger, and a
thermocouple. With minor changes, these steps can apply to other measurements. Use the
following instructions or watch a video.
1. Using datalogger support software, launch Short Cut.
PC200W and PC400 users, click Short Cut
l
LoggerNet users, click Program then Short Cut
l
2. Click Create New Program.
3. Select CR300 Series datalogger and click Next.
NOTE:
The first time Short Cut is run, a prompt will ask for a noise rejection choice. Select 60 Hz
Noise Rejection for North America and areas using 60 Hz ac voltage. Select 50 Hz Noise
Rejection for most of the Eastern Hemisphere and areas that operate at 50 Hz.
A second prompt lists sensor support options. Campbell Scientific, Inc. (US) is usually the best
fit outside of Europe.
To change the noise rejection or sensor support option for future programs, use the Program
menu.
4. A list of Available Sensors and Devices and Selected Measurements Available for Output dis-
play. Battery voltage BattV and internal temperature PTemp_C are selected by default.
During operation, battery and temperature should be recorded at least daily to assist in
