Section 3. Introduction
3.2 Overview of Major LoggerNet Functions and
Associated Software Applications
3.2.1 The Heart of it All – LoggerNet Toolbar
The LoggerNet Toolbar has several functions. The most important is starting
the server that handles all communications with the dataloggers in the network.
As long as the Toolbar is running, either visible or minimized, the server is
working and able to communicate with the dataloggers. Shutting down the
Toolbar also shuts down the server and suspends all communications with the
dataloggers in the network.
When you run LoggerNet from the Window’s Program menu or from a desktop
shortcut, you are launching the LoggerNet Toolbar. Some options on the
Toolbar launch applications that connect to the server and allow you to set up
the network or view the collected data. Other options launch stand-alone
applications to perform other functions, such as program editing. As you hover
over a category in the list on the left side of the toolbar, applications related to
that category will be shown on the right. Selecting an application in the right-
hand list will launch the application.
LoggerNet’s client-server design allows client applications to be run on the
same computer as LoggerNet, or on remote computers running LoggerNetData,
LoggerNet Admin, or LoggerNet Remote. Note that the LoggerNet Toolbar
must be up and running (or LoggerNet must be running as a service) and
Remote Connections must be enabled for remote computers to access a
LoggerNet server. For additional information on Remote Connections, refer to
Section 12.1, Allowing Remote Connections to the LoggerNet Server.
3.2.1.1 Toolbar Views
When first opened, LoggerNet displays a full view of the Toolbar.
If you prefer a smaller version of the toolbar, you can select Favorites View
from the View menu. This will switch to a small view of the toolbar containing
only icons for applications in the Favorites category. (For additional
information on the Favorites category, refer to the following section.)
