OrderableProgram Generator for Windows (SCWin)
Overview
Short Cut Program Generator (SCWin) is a free, menu-driven, PC-compatible software package that simplifies the creation of data logger programs; it creates a data logger program in seven easy steps.
Note: Short Cut is included with PC400 and LoggerNet software, so no additional download of Short Cut is necessary if you are using either of these programs. To download Short Cut separately, visit the Downloads section below or click the Download Now button above.
Key Advantages
Simple way to generate data logger programs
Technical Description
Originally intended to support meteorological and hydrological applications, the initial releases of Short Cut (SCWin) supported over 120 sensors. Now, with additional program generation capabilities, Short Cut supports programming for our multiplexers, AVW200-series Vibrating Wire Interfaces, ET107 stations, ET106 stations, MetData1 stations, and most sensors that can be measured by our data loggers.
Short Cut allows the user to select sensors and choose output data. Short Cut then creates a wiring diagram and a program file for transfer to the data logger. It also includes support for algebraic entry of expressions.
