Hello Forum
I need a program to CR850 to show me in the display immediately the information without having to use the keyboard.
Thank you
Hi Julio,
You will have to program the logger first to make this happen, but here is a functioning program.
The instructions you will need are:
DisplayMenu, MenuItem, EndMenu
With Display menu you will want to give it a title. This one I have called "Data".
The MenuItem is where you give labels/names for your variables and your actual variable to link the data.
Remember then to add your EndMenu to close
'CR800 Series Datalogger
'Declare Public Variables
Public Batt_Volt
Public PTemp
'Define Data Tables
DataTable (Onehour,True,1000)
DataInterval (0,1,Hr,10)
Sample (1,Batt_Volt,FP2)
EndTable
DisplayMenu ("Data",-4)
MenuItem ("Panel Temp",PTemp)
MenuItem ("Voltage",Batt_Volt)
EndMenu 'End custom menu creation
'Main Program
BeginProg
Scan (1,Sec,0,0)
'Loggers Wiring Panel Temperature
PanelTemp (PTemp,250)
'Monitors Battery voltage
Battery (Batt_Volt)
CallTable Onehour
NextScan
EndProg
There are other options you can do in the display; such as, configure the display to always be on, or the light to always be on.
I hope this helps

Ok, thank you....I) will try to do it this way...
Regards.
Can you provide anymore details about configuring custom displays? I understand how to set up the menu structure, but I haven't been able to find any details about configuring the backlight or timeouts on the display.
Thank you.
Hi Julio,
To change the timeout or contrast on the display, hit the enter key until you see configure/setting at the bottom of the list, arrow down to select configure/settings then hit the enter key again. You should then see the word "Display" at the bottom on the list, arrow down and select display by hitting the enter key.
You should then see how to adjust time and contrast.
Regards..
Thank you for the quick response. I am familiar with how to adjust the display settings from the keypad on the data logger. I am curious as to how I can set display from the programming side in CR Basic.
Thank you,
Peele,
Unfortunately the display timeout and contrast cannot be programmed by the CRBasic Editor, mainly because the display has its own OS that is not programmable using CRBasic.
