It is possible to configure the File Retrieval to delete files once retrieved from
the datalogger. If datalogger memory capacity is a concern, it is recommended
to use this feature.
To add a file retrieval process, start by clicking “Add New” under File Pattern.
Once added the Edit File Pattern, Output Directory, and Max Files parameter
become available to fill out. Each File Pattern added will need to be
individually configured.
Under the Edit File Pattern parameter you must select from the directory
location options, in order to specify the image or video to be retrieved. By
default the jpg and avi names are a wild card (*), which means all jpg or avi
files in the specified directory will be retrieved. If you have used specific
filenames in the camera configuration you are able to specify these names in
the Edit File Pattern parameter. It is possible to configure multiple File
Patterns to collect images or video on different schedules or from multiple
directories.
If your version of Loggernet File Retrieval does not list the avi
file as an option under Edit File Pattern you are able to force the
filename and format.
The default Output Directory is C:\Campbellsci\LoggerNet. If required you
are able to change this by browsing to the preferred location. The Max Files
parameter specifies the maximum number of files that can be retrieved during
each scheduled event. The newest files will be retrieved.
When the Force Retrieval box is selected, a file that matches the file pattern
will be retrieved regardless of the file’s timestamp or whether the file has
already been retrieved. When the Record If Skipped box is selected, the names
and dates of any files that are not retrieved because of the Max Files parameter
will be recorded and they will not be retrieved later. If this box is not selected,
the skipped files can be retrieved in a later attempt.
17.2 Using LoggerNet File Control
Images or video that are in the dataloggers memory can be viewed or collected
on demand by using the File Control feature that is available from the
Connection Screen menu (Figure 17-2 Loggernet Connection Screen). The use
of File Control requires a communications connection to the datalogger. Using
the File Control can also be useful for debugging purposes.
