LogTag Recorders LogTag Analyzer Temperature Recorder - Manual (Page 95)

Chapter 6 Customizing the software 95
This window shows status messages related to the FTP and e-mailing functions. The
window can be hidden by right clicking anywhere in it and de-selecting the Upload/Send
Status box. It can be re-displayed by right clicking anywhere on the menu or toolbar and
selecting the Upload/Send Status box.
Note: The manual e-mail function described here is different from the "send mail" button
on the toolbar. The "send mail" button invokes your standard e-mail program, attaches
the data file, requires you to fill in an e-mail address and press the send button. The
manual e-mail function via SMTP does not use your standard e-mail program, but the
configured SMTP settings and requires no further action once the globe button on the
toolbar is pressed.
Note: Automatic upload via FTP and automatic e-mailing only work if a file is created by
downloading data from a LogTag in the interface. If the uniqueness settings in the "File
and Folder Settings" are set so that certain conditions do not result in creation of a new
file, no file is uploaded or e-mailed either.
Files with formats other than the native LogTag Analyzer format can also be e-mailed or
uploaded. They can be selected separately for each transfer mechanism in the respective
"Settings" dialogue and are independent of the settings in the
Exports and Reports (on
page 109) option dialogue.
Note: If you upload a file via the manual or automatic FTP function, any file that already
exists on the server with the same name will be overwritten. It is up to you to make sure
files are created with unique file names.
Basic SMTP and e-mail settings
Disclaimer
The distribution of unsolicited e-mails provides huge inconvenience to anyone with an
e-mail account. LogTag Analyzer's e-mail function allows the automated e-mailing of files
to a large number of recipients simultaneously without user interaction. Some countries
consider this as spam and will prosecute offenders.
It is therefore of the utmost importance that you as the sender obtain permission from
the recipients to send these files. LogTag Recorders provides this functionality as a
feature assisting in the distribution of information between various users within an
organization and will not assume responsibility for any misuse of its software.
Setting up automated e-mailing requires two main pieces of information:
 The name of the SMTP server which you wish to use to send the e-mails and
 A valid user name and password for the SMTP server.
