Section 10. Utilities Installed with
LoggerNet
Along with LoggerNet’s server, clients and program editors, we also install several
utilities. These are launched either from the Utilities category of the LoggerNet toolbar or
from a command line calling the executable itself. These utilities include
Device
Configuration Utility , an application that uses a serial or an IP port to configure
Campbell Scientific dataloggers and communications devices, CoraScript , a utility to
configure and run LoggerNet from a command line, RWIS Administrator , an application
that provides support for RWIS (Road Weather Information Systems) weather stations, File
Format Convert , an application that is used to convert data files from one format to
another, and Toa_to_tob1 , a command line utility to convert TOA5 files to the TOB1
format.
10.1 Device Configuration Utility
10.1.1 Overview
The Device Configuration Utility (DevConfig) is used to set up dataloggers
and intelligent peripherals before those devices are deployed in the field and
before the devices are added to networks in Campbell Scientific datalogger
support software such as LoggerNet or PC400. Some key features of
DevConfig include:
•
To keep the process as simple as possible, DevConfig supports only
serial and IP connections between the PC and devices.
•
DevConfig cannot only send operating systems to supported device
types, but can also set datalogger clocks and send program files to
dataloggers.
•
DevConfig allows you to determine operating system types and
versions, which can be very useful in classic dataloggers, such as the
CR10X, where the operating system version in the datalogger is not
known.
•
DevConfig provides a reporting facility where a summary of the
current configuration of a device can be shown on the screen and
printed. This configuration can also be saved to a file and used to
restore the settings in the same or a replacement device.
•
Some devices may not support the configuration protocol in
DevConfig, but do allow configurations to be edited through the
terminal emulation screen.
•
Help for DevConfig is shown as prompts and explanations on its main
screen. Help for the appropriate settings for a particular device can
also be found in the user’s manual for that device.
•
Updates to DevConfig are available from Campbell Scientific’s
website. These may be installed over the top of older versions.
