The USR: drive is a file system that can be allocated from a portion of data logger RAM (battery backed memory).  It is allocated using a setting that can be found in the "Advanced" subpanel of devconfig for your data logger.  The advantage of using the USR: drive is that it has no inherent limit regarding the number of times it can be written and in its relative speed.  The disadvantage is that it is limited in its size and it takes memory away from what would otherwise be available to the program.

From the CRBasic helpfile:

USR Drive

The USR drive is a user-created drive in the CR1000, CR3000, CR800, and CR6 dataloggers. It can be set up by assigning a value to the datalogger's UsrDriveSize (either by entering a value into the Settings table directly, by using Device Configuration Utility, or by setting it with the SetStatus instruction). This drive must be sized at least 8192 bytes, in 512 byte increments (if the value entered is not a multiple of 512 bytes, the size will be rounded up). Maximum size that can be entered by the user is 2,990,000 bytes. If the value entered for the USRDriveSize is greater than the maximum, the drive will be set to 2,990,080 bytes (the maximum user-entered value, rounded up based on 512 byte increments).

Note: Setting the UsrDriveSize forces the datalogger to recompile its program and may results in the loss of data.

You can set the drive size before your main Scan loop with the following instruction:

SetStatus ("USRDriveSize",8192)  'Define smallest possible USR drive

 The CR1000 manual outlines the function of the USR drive here.

By defining a USR drive, you are allocating memory from the datalogger for a file space that you can read/write to.
