CAMPBELL SCIENTIFIC’S SHORT CUT: CREATE CR10(X), 21X, CR500,
AND METDATA1 PROGRAMS IN MINUTES
Welcome to Campbell Scientific’s Short Cut program builder for CR10(X), 21X, and CR500 dataloggers and
MetData1 weather stations. Using Short Cut you can select sensors, choose output data, create wiring diagrams
and prepare reports. Short Cut supports Campbell Scientific's SM192, SM716, and CSM1 storage modules.
Important
Short Cut requires a minimum of 550 Kbytes of unused conventional memory. You can use the DOS "mem"
command and check the "largest executable program size." If this number is less than 550 K, you will need to set
up your computer so that it loads boot-up programs and drivers into upper (or high) memory or simply load fewer
drivers (e.g., network or CD-ROM). Restart your computer to free up the additional memory.
Installing Short Cut
CR500/PC500 users: Start by installing PC500. Its installation procedure will step you through installing Short
Cut. Refer to the CR500 manual for instructions on using Short Cut.
Other users: Insert the Short Cut disk into drive A: and change to that drive. Type “install” at the DOS prompt
and press Enter. It is recommended that you accept default subdirectories.
MetData1 users: Start by installing Short Cut as described above. Before you write your weather station
program, you will need to run the batch file METDATA.BAT to configure Short Cut for your use. To use Short
Cut for general datalogger programs, run DEFAULT.BAT to restore Short Cut to its default configuration. Both
of the batch files can be found in the subdirectory where you installed Short Cut.
Starting Short Cut
Windows: Double-click on SC.EXE in File Manager or Windows Explorer. Or, you can start a DOS session by
changing to the subdirectory where you installed Short Cut and typing “SC.”
DOS PC208E or PC500: If you used the default installation subdirectories, choose Short Cut by selecting it
under the File main menu item. Hint: Establish an association between a station and a program file under
PC208E’s EDIT | FILE menu item. Then, start Short Cut under the FILE menu. When you return to Short Cut
again to change your program, Short Cut will start using the filename you associated with the station.
Older versions of DOS PC208: Change to the subdirectory where you installed Short Cut and type “SC” at the
DOS prompt.
