Section 5. Real-Time Tools

Once you have started data collection with Collect Now, you can stop it by

clicking the Cancel button on the animated screen. This might be necessary if

you started a data collection that is bringing in more data than you really

wanted, especially over a slow communications link.

5.1.2.2 Custom Collection

5.1.2.2.1 Mixed-array Dataloggers

Clicking the Custom button for a mixed-array datalogger brings up the dialog

box shown below. The options you can specify include the file format and

whether to overwrite or append to the existing file, how much data to collect

and which final storage areas you want to collect.

While retrieving data from the datalogger using Custom

Collection, scheduled data collection will be suspended. The

directory where the files are stored for custom collection is

separate from the files for scheduled collection data and by default

is a Data directory under the LoggerNet directory (e.g.,

C:\CampbellSci\LoggerNet\Data).

File Format
This option is used to select the file format in which to store the collected data.

Appendix B, Campbell Scientific File Formats, provides information on File

Formats.

Collect

Collect All will get all of the data available in the selected final storage

areas. For a datalogger that has a lot of data stored, this could result in a

large file and take a long time.
