Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks
specify if a timestamp and record number should be included,
and whether midnight is specified as 2400 or 0000.
Binary table data (TOB1) – The data is stored in Table Oriented
Binary format type 1. When this option is selected, the Browse
button to the right of the Output Format field becomes available.
It launches a dialog box from which to specify if a timestamp
and record number should be included.
Array Compatible CSV – This option allows for the
customization of the output file. It is used most often to produce
files compatible with our mixed array datalogger types. When
this option is selected the Browse button to the right of the
Output Format field becomes available. It launches a dialog box
from which to select the custom output options.
CSIXML – The data is stored in XML format with Campbell
Scientific defined elements and attributes. Refer to Appendix B,
Campbell Scientific File Formats , for more information. When
this option is selected, the Browse button to the right of the
Output Format field becomes available. It launches a dialog box
from which to specify if a timestamp and record number should
be included, and whether midnight is specified as 2400 or 0000.
Collect Mode – The collect mode allows you to choose how much data to
collect when getting data from the datalogger.
•
Data Logged Since Last Collection – When LoggerNet calls the
datalogger to collect data, it will try to get all of the data stored by the
datalogger since the previous call. If this is the first call to a datalogger
there might be a lot of historical data stored. When Collect All on First
Collection is checked, LoggerNet will collect all data in the datalogger the
first time data is collected. If Collect All on First Collection is not
checked, the first call to the datalogger will collect the number of records
specified in the Records to Collect on First Collection field. This allows
you to avoid keeping communications tied up while all the historical data
is collected.
•
Most Recently Logged Records – This option is used when you are
interested in only the most recently stored data. During each data
collection, the number of records specified in the Records to Collect field
will be collected.
•
Collect At Most – During each data collection, LoggerNet will collect up
to the number of records specified in the Records to Collect field. In
contrast to the Most Recently Logged Records mode, the Collect At Most
mode will not duplicate records previously collected. Therefore, fewer
records than the number specified may be collected.
Get Table Definitions – When this button is pressed, LoggerNet will query the
datalogger for its table definitions. This should only be needed the first time
connecting to a station or when the datalogger program has changed. New
table definitions will cause the previous output data file to be saved with a
different name and a new data file will be created to save the data.
