CRVW3 3-Channel Vibrating-Wire Datalogger

The

View Pro

application is provided within

LoggerNet

for viewing and

graphing historical data stored in .DAT files. When you perform a

Collect

Now

Custom Collect

operation, a screen appears which allows you to open

and display the affected .DAT file within the

View Pro

application. Press the

View File

button in the

Data Collection Results

Screen. It is also possible to

start the

View Pro

application from the

LoggerNet

toolbar and then browse to

and open any .DAT file available on the computer. You can look up the

location of various .DAT files by looking at

the Data Files

tab for each

CRVW3 in the

Setup Screen

. For more information about using

View Pro

, refer

to Section 8.1 of the

LoggerNet

manual.

Another option available for storing data as it is collected from devices is

LNDB

(

LoggerNet

Database software).

LNDB

is purchased separately from

LoggerNet

, but it does require a

LoggerNet

installation to operate. Once

installed and running,

LNDB

monitors the data that is collected within

LoggerNet

and stores it into a MySQL or SQLServer database that has been

configured by the user. This database can be on the same computer that runs
