Section 12. Optional Client Applications Available for LoggerNet

12.3 RTMC Run-Time

RTMC Run-Time is an application that allows you to remotely run real-time

graphic display screens that have been created in the RTMC Development

version. RTMC Run-Time is discussed in Section 5, Real-Time Tools, of this

manual.

12.4 RTMC Pro

RTMC Pro is an enhanced version of the RTMC Development application that

ships with LoggerNet and is talked about in Section 5.2, Real-Time Monitoring

and Control. RTMC Pro contains more graphical components than RTMC.

For example, more alarms (multi-state), alarm events (email, FTP, run/open),

switches (lever, rocker, rotary), charts (XY and scope), gauges (rotary,

compass), and layout components (group box, bevel, panel) are available. For

components that exist in both versions, more properties have been exposed in

RTMC Pro resulting in more design control. RTMC Pro also includes

run/open button, hotspot, snapshot, and alarm log capabilities.

RTMC Pro is not covered in this manual. RTMC Pro comes with a separate

user’s manual. Product literature can be downloaded from our website at

12.5 LNDB

LNDB is an application that enables you to easily move data from a LoggerNet

data cache into a database such as Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL. The two

main components of LNDB are LNDB Manager and LNDB Engine. LNDB

Manager is used to set up a database and select the datalogger data tables that

will be stored in the database. It also provides tools to monitor the LNDB

Engine and to review the database data. LNDB Engine runs as a service and

sends the selected data from the LoggerNet data cache to the database.

Additionally, LNDB includes utilities for importing and exporting data, and

generating simple reports from your database data.

LNDB is not covered in this manual. LNDB comes with a separate user’s

manual. Product literature can be downloaded from our website at

www.campbellsci.com.

12.6 Baler

Baler is a LoggerNet client application that allows you to set up a schedule on

which data will be retrieved from the LoggerNet server and saved to a file on a

remote computer. Tables are selected for baling from the dataloggers in the

LoggerNet network. The Baler will create a separate file for each selected

table. The data can be saved in TOAC1, TOA5, TOB, or CSV format.

The term “baling” is used in this application because of how files are saved to

disk. The user specifies an interval on which data will be stored, and once

“baling” is started, data is saved in interval-sized packets or “bales”.

Baler is not covered in this manual. Baler comes with a separate user’s

manual. Product literature can be downloaded from our website at

www.campbellsci.com.
