CR1000 Manual - Campbell Scientific

Section 7. Installation
Note Do not confuse CRBasic files with .DLD extensions with files of .DLD
type used by legacy Campbell Scientific dataloggers.
As an example, pseudo code using this feature might be written as:
#Const Destination = "CR1000"
#If Destination = "CR3000" Then
#ElseIf Destination = "CR1000" Then
#ElseIf Destination = "CR800" Then
#Else
#EndIf
This logic allows a simple change of a constant to direct, for instance, which
measurement instructions to include.
CRBasic Editor now features a pre-compile option that enables the creation of a
CRBasic text file with only the desired conditional statements from a larger
master program. This option can also be used at the pre-compiler command line
by using -p . This feature allows the smallest size program file
possible to be sent to the CR1000, which may help keep costs down over very
expensive telecommunications links.
CRBasic example Conditional Compile (p. 199) shows a sample program that
demonstrates use of conditional compilation features in CRBasic. Within the
program are examples showing the use of the predefined LoggerType constant
and associated predefined datalogger constants (CR800, CR1000, and CR3000).
