7.8.8.6.2 Create Send Text File
Create a file from which to send a serial string. The file shown in figure
HyperTerminal Send Text-File Example (p. 214) will send the string
[2008:028:10:36:22]C to the CR1000. Use Notepad (Microsoft Windows utility)
or some other text editor that will not place unexpected hidden characters in the
file.

7.8.8.6.4 Serial Input Test Program
CRBasic example Measure Sensors / Send RS-232 Data (p. 215) illustrates a use of
CR1000 serial I/O features.
Problem: An energy company has a large network of older CR510 dataloggers
into which new CR1000 dataloggers are to be incorporated. The CR510
dataloggers are programmed to output data in the legacy Campbell Scientific
Printable ASCII format, which satisfies requirements of the customer's dataacquisition
system. The network administrator also prefers to synchronize the
CR510 clocks from a central computer using the legacy Campbell Scientific C
command. The CR510 datalogger is hard-coded to output Printable ASCII and
