Appendix B. Installation Scenarios
B.1 Example 1: PC-to-RF Network
In this example, the master radio is connected to a PC running LoggerNet (see
FIGURE B-1 ). Slave radios are connected to CR1000s in the field. LoggerNet
may be used to view real-time values from the dataloggers, collect data, set
datalogger clocks, and send programs.
Remember, each datalogger must have a unique PakBus® address.
