4. NOTE Appendix B Table Based Dataloggers Event driven tables should have a fixed size rather than allowing them to be allocated automatically Event driven tables in CR800 CR1000 CR6 Series CR3000 CR5000 and CR9000 dataloggers that are automatically allocated are assumed to have one record stored per execution interval in calculating the length Since the datalogger tries to make the tables fill up at the same time with programs using short execution intervals these event driven tables may take up most of the memory leaving very little for other longer interval automatically allocated data tables B 1 3 CR200 Series Dataloggers CR200 Series dataloggers are similar to the other CRBasic dataloggers regarding the format of final storage Data is stored in final storage tables that are made up of records and fields As with the other table based dataloggers the user can specify the number of records for each table or table size can be determined by the datalogger And as with the other dataloggers the size of event driven tables should always be entered by the user or else the datalogger will calculate the amount of memory for the table based on the execution interval The CR200 Series dataloggers have a Public table in which the current scan s measurements are held However the CR200 Series does not have the ability to store multiple programs and program processing takes place in a linear or sequential fashion similar to t
