DOWNLOADING AND DISPLAYING OR CONVERTING FILES
You can download data from the data platform and use
PROEMION Dashboard to display it or PROEMION
Converter to convert it.
PROEMION Dashboard can directly read the saved
logfiles (.clf).
With PROEMION Converter, you can convert the data into a
comma-separated text file (.csv) or provide the position data
for use in Google Earth or Google Maps (.kml).
You can find a description of the logfiles (.clf) in the “clf.pdf”
file on the PROEMION Tools CD (path: CD_PROEMION_
Tools\Devices\Proemion\clf.pdf). The PROEMION Tools
CD also contains sample files and a Windows DLL for
converting CLF and CNT files (path: CD_PROEMION_Tools\
RMtools\Developer\CLF DLL Demo Projects\RMtools CLF
DLL Delphi Demo.zip). You can use this data to write your
own converter or import functions.
To find out how to download data from the data
platform, see the documentation “PROEMION Web
Services API”.
To find out how to configure the Dashboard application to
the logged data, see the documentation “EN_Software-
Dokumentation RMTools Dashboard”.
5.3 Real-time mode
In real-time mode, CAN messages are
transmitted bidirectionally.
CAN messages and GNSS data can be transmitted in close
to real-time.
Use EATON Configurator for the configuration. The basics
are described in Chapter Configuring the device.

Flashing blue = device is connected to a real-time
client software
Grayed out = device is offline
Constant green = device is in file transfer / logging mode
Click on the current status to change it.
