Section 10. Utilities Installed with LoggerNet

Controls on this panel include the following:

Collect Snapshots on Schedule – Select this check box to enable snapshot

collection schedule as part of scheduled data collection. Clearing the check

box disables snapshot collection.

Source Paths – This box shows the expected source paths for snapshot

filenames on the NTCIP-ESS device. Each row corresponds with a snapshot

camera on the device and should specify the path and filename where the file

resulting from taking that snapshot can be accessed via FTP. The order of the

rows corresponds to the order of the cameras on the device. Press the

Add

button to add a snapshot source name and path. Press the

Edit button to

change the path or source name for the selected snapshot. Press the

Remove

button to remove a snapshot source name. Press the

Move Up or Move Down

button to move the selected source name up or down in the list.

For NCTIP-ESS version 1 stations, the Source Path box specifies both the

number of snapshots to collect as well as the source FTP path for each

snapshot. A snapshot cannot be collected from an NCTIP-ESS version 1

station unless the path to the source is specified here.

For NCTIP-ESS version 2 stations, LoggerNet will initiate snapshots for as

many cameras as are reported in the essSnapshotNumberOfCameras variable.

The source

paths can be optionally specified in the Source Path box. If a path

is specified, LoggerNet will use this setting to specify the snapshot path. If the

path source is not specified here, LoggerNet will interpret the value of the

device’s essSnapShotCameraStoragePath variable as providing both the path

and the filename for the snapshot image.

10.3.3.4 Clock Settings

The fourth tab is used to control whether LoggerNet will perform automated

clock check/set operations with this station. A schedule can be set up to

compare the LoggerNet server’s clock with the station’s clock, and

automatically set the station’s clock if it varies by a certain amount. This option

should be used with caution since the change could result in data with missing

or duplicate timestamps. This tab is shown below:
