TABLE 5-2, Typical Data Table
data table is downloaded from a CR300 programmed with the code in CRBasic
Example B-6. See Section 5.7, Collecting Data
final data files.
As shown in CRBasic Example B-6, data table declaration begins with the
DataTable() instruction and ends with the EndTable() instruction. Between
DataTable() and EndTable() are instructions that define what data to store
and under what conditions data are stored. A data table must be called by the
CRBasic program for data storage processing to occur. Typically, data tables
are called by the CallTable() instruction once each Scan.
DataTable() instruction and parameters are as follows:
DataTable(Name, TrigVar, Size)
Name — The table name can be any combination of numbers, letters,
•
and underscore up to 20 characters in length. The first character must
be a letter or underscore.
• TrigVar — Controls whether or not data records are written to
storage. Data records are written to storage if TrigVar is true and if
other conditions, such as DataInterval(), are met. Default setting is
