similar spreadsheet for DDE, then select
the logger and data points desired. This
works well for graphically viewing data in
pseudo real-time. One copy of Excel can
display several graphs from the same or
different loggers. Our tests have shown
that it is possible to transfer up to 200
data points per second using this method.
This method is not recommended to
remotely collect data from a CR9000
because the DDE transfer of data may not
keep up with the logger.
With the release of the CR5000,
changes were made to PC9000. A new
Program Generator, PC5GEN, was
released that adds support for our AM25T
multiplexers. PC5GEN is not an integral
part of the PC9000 MDI, but is a stand-
alone program that works seamlessly with
PC9000.
A new editor has several features that
make it easier to program the CR5000 or
CR9000 beyond the capabilities of the
Program Generator. This editor, also a
stand-alone program, is called CSIEdit.
PC9000 help files have evolved to
make it easy to obtain information during
any stage of the data acquisition process,
from program generation to data collec-
tion and processing.
Our forthcoming PC9000 release, a 32-
bit version, required development of a
new 32-bit dynamic link library (DLL).
Early tests show promise for faster data
collection, slightly faster real-time win-
dows, and increased compatibility with
other 32-bit software packages.
In summary, PC9000 has evolved
because of suggestions made by people
who use the product. All of your sugges-
tions were welcomed and evaluated; if a
suggested feature added value to PC9000,
it was usually implemented.
Originally planned as temporary soft-
ware for the "soon-to-be-released"
CR9000 Measurement and Control
System, our PC9000 Software has
evolved over the past seven years. In its
infancy, it could transfer a program to the
CR9000, set the CR9000 clock, display
real-time data, and collect data files. The
initial program generator was soon devel-
oped; it could create programs to make
fundamental measurements and support
various data storage rates.
Today, all PC9000 features are captive
within a Multi-Document Interface
(MDI). This technology makes it easier
to have several windows, of the same or
different type, open at the same time. The
windows can be tiled or cascaded as
desired.
Requests for additions and changes to
PC9000 started with our first CR9000
customers. Consequently, the Program
Generator now includes Battery Saver,
Status Monitor, Conditional Power Off
based on time and/or measurements,
Triggered Burst, Rain Flow Histogram,
Level Crossing Histogram, Triggered
Event Tables, Write If..., Table Times cal-
culator and Calculated Fields. Calculators
for y=mx+b, RPM, Speed, Liquid Flow,
mV per Volt sensors, and Potentiometers
and Resistance were also added. Support
for new hardware includes Conditional
setups to read and write to ports, the abili-
ty to set flags and Continuous Analog
Outputs, and an interface to the
CR9052DC Filter Module and SDM-
CAN module.
A new Alarms List real-time window
allows the user to set two alarm levels for
each of several different measurements.
All alarm condition measurements, or
combinations of measurements, are view-
able in the window. Alarm conditions are
also logged to a file to show the time the
alarm started and ended for each alarm
level.
A new DDE Linker real-time window
can simultaneously display 50 channels of
data. Since 10 of these windows can be
open at once, up to 500 channels can be
available for DDE linking. A PC running
PC9000 while connected to a CR9000 can
provide the logger’s data to everyone on a
network. In fact, if more than one
PC9000/CR9000 system is running with
DDE Linkers open, then anyone on the
network can access data from all loggers
at the same time. The easiest way to
access the data is to set up an Excel or
CR5000/CR9000 software: the evolution of PC9000
Customer suggestions lead
to overall improved product
