cR500 4. Software and Programming +.1 PC500 Support Software Mouse' driven, D@S.prog ram that supports basic CRSOO-Io-PC operations including program generation, monitoring of real-ti measurements, data retrieval over a direct link, and simple table generation. For operation without a mouse, use the ALT activate the menu bar. Telecommunications requires PC208 or PC208W.. Install PC500 and Short Cut You have two dlskettes: PC500 and Short Cut.
cR500 Starting Short Gut ln the PC500 menu, choose File. ln the File menu, Short Cut. We will abbreviate these directions from here on, e.9., FilelShort Cut. Creating the CR500 Program Short Cut leads you through four easy steps. Step Open a new or existing program by selecting one of the options. For a new program, use a name that can be used for the station/logger as well. The site name often works well. Short Cut will use this name for the program it creates. Select OK to go on.
cR500 Select the CR500 as the datalogger type, and click OK to go on. Step 2 In the main screen click on in Step 2 to see screen: 1111:1:1::::ljij:::i:l:!i llllilllilill: llliii: lllillil:1:111: lj:i:: Illilinrljii$iiii: Select the scan rate and click OK. Next, the sensor type: Meteorological, Level/Stage, Water Quality or Custom. Then highlight a sensor and click add to select.
cRs00 In this example, the 1078 has been selected from the group of water quality sensors. A sensor information screen appears. For most sensors you must furnish some configuration information. Short Cut will prompt you for the required information. ln this case, the user has selected an output in degrees Celsius. After this selection the 107B can be added to the list of sensors/measurements for this program. Click Add.
cR500 Step 3 After selecting all of your sensors, click Close. Then on the screen select in Step 3 to see the following Select Intervals and Output Data. Select the processing and output for your application. You may specify up to three output reports and output intervals. select the output report you want to work with among the three cascaded windows. The hot keys are Alt-1, Alt-2, and Alt-3. the output interval, if desired.
cR500 Ground Connections Analog Channels and Wiring Connections Excitation Channels and Wiring Connections When done, select Close then Exit.
cR500 4.3 Greate a Station File After creating a CR500 program, the next step is to create a file. A station file contains the information PC500 requires (e.9., station name, COM port on your PC, the communications and baud rate) to communicate with a specific CR500. When u PC500 the interface type is the SC32A. There are several interface options when using PC208 or PC208W for teleeornmunications, Select FilelNewlStation to see this screen: ln most cases you can accept all the default settings.
cR500 5. Dry Run 5.1 Build a Program 5.2 Create a Station File 5.3 Wire the Sensors and Make PC Connections Before going into the field, go through a practice setup in the office. Use Short Cut to generate a CR500 program, called a .DLD file. Use a name for the program that can also be used to identify the site (Sec' 4.2)' Using PC500, create a station file (.STN) to identify the site and the CRSOO. Use the same name you used for the program (Sec' 4.3).
cRs00 5.6 Load Program (DLD File) lnto the CR500 Select ToolslSend Datalogger Prog. A pop up warning appear. lf there is data you want to save, retrieve it before ahead (Sec. 5.8). Then select OK. Make sure the correct .DLD file is selected then select OK to download. The program will be sent to the CR500 and begin and you will receive a message the download was successful. 5.7 Monitor the From the PC500 menu.

Examples show CSI P.N. 6447, a 10" x l2" fiberglass enclosure. Several other models are available. Mounting Options A.
cR500 6.3 Grounding The CR500 MUST be tied to earth ground. lt is the use/s responsibility to provide this earth ground. The UTGND can be purchased from CSl. lt includes a lightning rod, rod, cable, and clamps. Allcomponents of a system (datalogger, external power mounts; housings;,etc.) should be referenced to ONE common ground. Main grounding Example 18 lug: Must be tied to earth ground.

cR500 7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 7.1 COMMUNICATING WITH THE CRsOO 7.1.1 CRlOKD KEYBOARD/DISPLAY The SC12 cable (supplied with the CRlOKD) is used to connect the Keyboard/Display to the 9 pin CS l/O port on the CR500. 7.1.3 KEY DEFINITION Keys and key sequences have specific functions when using the CR1OKD keyboard or a computer/terminal in the remote keyboard state. Table 7.1-2lists these functions.
cRs00 7.1.4 USING COMPUTER WITH DATALOGGER SUPPORT SOFTWARE Direct datalogger communication programs in the datalogger suppolt software (PC208E, PC500, TCOM datalogger session) provide a menu selection of tools to perform the datalogger functions (e.9., set clock, send program, monitor measurements, and collect data). The user also has the option of directly entering keyboard commands via a built-in terminal emulator (Section 7.1.5).
cR500 Final processed values are stored in Flash EEPROM for transfer to printer, solid state Storage Module or for retrieval via telecommunication links. Values are stored in Final Storage only by the Output Processing Instructions and only when the Output Flag is set in the user's program. Approximately 24,000 locations are allocated to Final Storage on power up. This number is reduced if Input or Intermediate Storage is increased.
cRs00 7.3 INTERNAL DATA STORAGE 7.3.1 FINAL STORAGE AREAS AND OUTPUT ARRAYS Final Storage is the memory where final processed data are stored. Final Storage data are transferred to your computer or external stbrage peripheral. The size of Final Storage is expressed in terms of memory locations or bytes. A low resolution data point (4 decimalcharacters) occupies one memory location (2 bytes), whereas a high resolution data point (5 decimal characters) requires two memory locations (4 bytes). Figure 7.
cR500'" while use of the "B'key backs the DPTR through memory. The memory location of the data point is displayed by pressing the "#" key. At this point, another memory location may be entered, followed by the "An key to jump to the start of the Output Anay equal to or just ahead of the location entered. Whenever a location number is displayed by using the "#" key, the corresponding data point can be displayed by pressing the "C" key.

cRs00 7.5.3 *C MODE - SECURITY The *C Mode is used to block access to the user's program information and certain CR500 functions. There are 3levels of security, each with its own 4 digit password. Setting a password to a non-zero value "locks" the functions secured at that level. The password must subsequently be entered to temporarily unlock security through that level. Passwords are paft of the program.
