Section 9. Automating Tasks with Task Master

Example #2:

The following configuration will run LNBackup.exe to perform an automated

backup. The –AppendTime command line option creates a unique filename

based on date and time each time the task is run. If the –AppendTime

command line option is omitted, the backup file will be overwritten each time

the task is run.

If LoggerNet security is enabled, the command line options must also include

the username and password as shown below:

–user=“username” –password=“password

If you have used a command line argument to change LoggerNet’s default port

number, the command line options must also include the server address and

port number as shown below:

–server=server_address:port (e.g., LocalHost:6700 or 192.168.7.123:6700)

The files contained in the backup will be based on a saved backup

configuration file. To save a backup configuration, choose

Network | Manual Backup from the Setup Screen’s menu.

Proceed through the Backup wizard. At the last step, choose Save

Configuration. The configuration will be saved to

C:\CampbellSci\LoggerNet\Backup.Configuration.


Automated backups on a specified interval can be performed using

the Setup Screen's Network | Scheduled Backup menu item.

Example #3:

The following configuration will set up a task (calendar_data_collection_task)

to collect data from the datalogger that is named CR1000_IP in the network

map. Data will be collected at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday–Friday. Note

that the Data Files tab in the Setup Screen must be configured to collect the

desired tables.
