!!Note!!: Beginning with this version of Short Cut, CDM modules are no longer supported for the CR1000, CR3000, and CR800 series. CDM modules are still supported for the CR6 series and CR1000X series. However, the way the modules are programmed in CRBasic is handled differently. Therefore, for existing Short Cut program files, the modules will need to be removed and then added again.

Redesigned the user experience and GUI interface.

Fixed when Alias is called on an existing array. It now updates the index along with the name. When searching for the Alias associated with a CRBasic array element, now does not return the Alias (name, object, or units) if the Alias is disabled.

Modified the program to prevent ground wires from being moved from G terminal to Ground terminal and prevent Ground wires from being moved to G terminal. With preferred grounds, all grounds are in a common group.

Fixed an issue where the input location ID was showing up for CRBasic type of dataloggers in the summary for labels created by used defined expressions.

Added a custom check to look for and prevent SDI-12 and Pulse channels on channel pairs for the CR6. Also on the control ports for the CR1000X. These are not allowed but are outside the normal rules for channel pairs .

Modified to allow multiple decimal chars when editing a string field (like an IP address).

Enhanced to allow manual setting of high resolution for long data type.

Added new functionality: when loading a saved program, add any new channel types that are found in the DLF file. For example, switchclosure channels were added to the CR6. This was needed as we learned that switch closure connections on control ports are different than on U terminals (U terminal switch to ground and C port switch to 5V). So a new switchclosure channel type was added, and the C ports were removed from the pulse channel type. Caveats: Using the C ports requires a U port to be configured as a 5V source, as the CR6 has no 5V terminal. Since the C ports are only used when the U terminals are full, the user probably will not have one available. Also, when a saved program is loaded, the old pulse channel definitions are still used, so they will continue to be allocated and will not work. This will not be addressed as it is very unlikely to occur. The work-around is to start a new Short Cut program. We also added a new channel type of SDI-12 to the CRx000 and CR10X family of loggers. This is so the data connection could be moved instead of being on a fixed port. This required updated sensor files and datalogger files. This will allow updated datalogger and sensor files to work with new channel types.

Fixed an issue when making the working directory save work.

Modified the set buffer parameter of Scan instruction for some dataloggers with sub-second scans.

Fixed RepBlockArray aliases to have the current units if the user has edited the units since an alias was created.

Fixed server login. Login will not be reattempted multiple times, only when the program is sent from Short Cut.

Increased the font size by 2 for the wiring diagram visual and text display.

Short Cut Bug Fix - Fixed a problem for the CR300-series datalogger where 12V power ground was shown wired to a signal ground (the ground symbol) instead of a power ground (G) terminal. This could affect single-ended measurements, if current flowing on the return was large enough.

Short Cut Bug Fix - Changed ground connection for several SDI-12 sensors to allow the signal wire to be moved.

Short Cut Bug Fix - Fixed a problem where bridge strain measurements on multiplexers (for example, the AM16/32) had the excitation voltage set to zero.

Known Issue - Although listed as a selectable sensor for the CR300, the CS526 ISFET pH Probe will not work with the CR300 as the CR300 does not support TTL level serial communications. It will be removed from Short Cut for the CR300 in the next release.

Sensor file bug fixes and updated help.

A new Datalogger step has been added to the Progress panel. In this step, you select the datalogger model and set the scan interval. When generating a program for a CR9000X, the CR9000X Configuration box also appears on this screen.

When adding a sensor, if more than one of the selected sensor can be added, the choice of how many sensors to add is included as part of the sensor’s form rather than as a separate dialog box.

When adding more than one sensor, a dialog box is available that allows you to input unique values for certain calibration and/or conversion factors (e.g., multiplier, offset, gage factor) for each sensor being measured.

Each sensor form now includes a wiring tab that shows the wiring for the sensor. This tab allows you to manually change the wiring location, if desired.

For some sensors that require an excitation voltage, the sensor form now includes parameters that allow you to calculate Sensors per Excitation Channel. (Exciting more than one sensor with an excitation channel is helpful when the sensors to be measured outnumber the available excitation channels.)

An SC115 CS I/O-to-USB Flash Memory Drive check box has been added to the Outputs screen. When this box is selected, new data will be copied to an SC115 when it is plugged into the CS I/O port of the datalogger.

Selected Sensors are now shown in a tree format and branches of the tree can be collapsed or expanded as desired. This can be especially useful when the Selected Sensor tree contains multiplexers.
