Section 9. Program Control Instructions
CalFile(Source/Dest, NumVals, "Device:filename", Option)
The CalFile instruction provides a way to store sensor calibration data from a
program into a file located on the CRD: drive or the CPU: drive as well as to
the CR9000X's non-volatile Flash memory with the same instruction. When
the CR9000X is powered up, all Calibration Files located in flash memory will
be loaded into SDRAM memory.
Syntax
CalFile (Source/Dest, NumVals, "Device:filename", Option)
Remarks
The data in the file is stored as 4 byte binary single precision floating point
values (in the native format of the logger) with a 2 byte signature appended to
the end of the data. This signature is checked (if reading) to verify that the file
is not corrupt.
The CalFile instruction has these parts:
Parameter
& Data Type
Enter
CALFILE PARAMETERS
Source/Dest
Array
A variable array specifying where to read data from or write data to.
NumVals
Constant
The number of values that should be written to or read from the calibration
file.
Device;
Filename
Text
The Device on which the file is stored and the FileName must be specified
and the entire string must be enclosed in quotation marks. Device = CPU,
the file is stored in datalogger memory. Device = CRD, the file is stored on
a PCMCIA card..
Option
Numeric code to determine whether to create or read a calibration file.
Constant 0 Write source array to File
1 Read data from file and if signature matches, write to array
2 Write source array to file and commit file to flash memory.
3 Commit file system contents to non-volatile memory.
CalFile Instruction Example
Const numvals = 25 : dim i
Public tfail, tdone, array1(numvals), array2(numvals)
BeginProg
for i = 1 to numvals
array1(i) = i 'write values into array
next i
CALFILE(array1,numvals,”CPU:calfile.cal”,0) 'store the values to the file
CALFILE(array2,numvals,”CPU:calfile.cal”,1) 'read the values to array2
for i = 1 to numvals 'test retrieved values
if array2(i) <> array1(i) then
tfail = 1
endif
next i
tdone = 1
EndProg
