13.5 Multiple Cameras

Multiple cameras can be placed on a single datalogger. However, the system
should be configured so that image transfers to the datalogger from more than
one camera do not occur at the same time. If a collision does occur, images
will not get stored onto the datalogger. Each camera attached to the logger has
to have a different PakBus, and CSDC address.

13.6 Connections

The Ext. connection is optional if the camera is set up in self-timed mode. The
CS I/O cable length between the camera and the datalogger is limited to 12 feet
or less.

Refer to 4.4 for connections to the CR510, CR10X, or CR23X.

14. Remote Image Retrieval

Once the camera has transferred an image to a datalogger, LoggerNet
communication can be used to retrieve the image remotely from the datalogger
memory. For practical purposes it is recommended that the communication
link used for image retrieval maintain a speed of 9600 BAUD or more.

14.1 LNCMD.EXE

LoggerNet (Version 3.1.3 or newer) includes the executable LNCMD.EXE that
facilitates the image file retrieval from dataloggers. LNCMD.EXE is an
executable file that can be used to retrieve images from a datalogger. The file
is normally placed in the directory C:\Program Files\Campbellsci\LoggerNet.
The current command lines for the LNCMD.EXE executable are as follows:

• List-Stations

o

Lists the names of the stations available to call.

• List-Files <Station>

o

Lists the names of the files stored at a particular station.

• Send-File <Station> <Filename>

o

Sends a particular file to a station.
