Campbell Scientific LoggerNet Datalogger Support Software - Manual (Page 23)

Preface — What’s New in LoggerNet 4?
Setup Screen
The Setup Screen now has the option of being used in an EZ View or a
Standard View. The Standard View is similar to the Setup Screen in older
versions of LoggerNet. In the EZ View, the EZ Setup Wizard is used to add
dataloggers and edit their settings.
Standard View Changes
A new menu item has been added to enable a Stations Only view. When this is
enabled, only stations will be shown in the Network Map and they will be
listed in alphabetical order. This can be especially helpful, when working with
a large network.
A Scheduled Backup menu item has also been added. This opens a dialog box
from which you can setup automatic backups of LoggerNet on a user-defined
schedule.
A new root device, the PakBus TcpServer, has been added. This device can
accommodate multiple incoming PakBus/TCP connections to service the
stations attached to it. Therefore, it allows the same IP port to be used to listen
for incoming connections from multiple dataloggers. The device has a Routing
tab that can be used to specify IP addresses and port numbers to be used for
outgoing connections to specific dataloggers attached to the PakBus TcpServer.
The Routing tab can also be used to cause LoggerNet to maintain a connection
with a range of dataloggers, once an incoming connection has been established.
An Image Files tab has been added to the Setup Screen for the CR1000,
CR3000, and CR800 Series dataloggers. This tab provides an easy way to
retrieve image files from the datalogger on a specified interval. (Note this tab
is renamed File Retrieval in LoggerNet 4.1.)
A Notes tab has been added to all devices to allow the user to keep notes about
the device for future reference. This is purely for the user’s convenience. (The
information in a datalogger’s Notes tab is displayed in the Connect Screen,
when that datalogger is selected.)
A new File Output Format option, CSIXML, has been added. When this option
is selected, data is stored in XML format with Campbell Scientific defined
elements and attributes.
Individual devices and/or device branches of the Network Map can be copied
and pasted into the network.
Various other settings have been added including BMP1 Station ID, BMP1
Low Level Delay, PakBus Verify Interval, TCP Password, Enable Automatic
Hole Collection, Stay on Collect Schedule, and Collect At Most. See Section
4.2.4, Device Settings, or LoggerNet’s online help for information about these
settings and what devices they apply to.
