histogram, or FFT as appropriate for the data type. You can also print graphs
or save them to disk in a variety of formats.
Split is used to post process and generate reports from collected data files from
either mixed-array or table-based dataloggers. Traditionally it has been used to
separate mixed-array data files into individual files based on the array ID, but it
can also create files in custom formats for use in reports or as input to other
data applications, including converting mixed-array datalogger time stamps
(year, Julian day, Hour/Minute) to more conventional date/time stamp formats.
Split includes time series function, which can be used to provide summary
information from more frequent data (e.g., hourly summaries from one-minute
data).
The CardConvert file converter is used to convert TOB1, TOB2, and TOB3
files to TOA5, Array Compatible CSV, or CSIXML format (TOB2/TOB3 files
can also be converted to TOB1 format). TOB files are binary files that are
either created by LoggerNet during collection or are collected directly from a
compact flash or PCMCIA card installed in a CRX000 datalogger. A
command line file converter, toA_to_tob1, is also included in LoggerNet.
(Refer to Appendix B, Campbell Scientific File Formats, for additional
information on File Formats.)
3.2.9 Automating Tasks with Task Master
The Task Master is used to set up a Task that can be triggered on a defined
schedule or upon a data collection event from a datalogger. A Task can be data
collection from another datalogger, the transfer of a just collected data file to a
designated FTP directory, or anything that can be executed in a computing
environment (i.e., a command line operation, a program executable, a batch
file, or a script).
3.2.10 Managing External Data Storage Devices
CardConvert is used to retrieve binary data from a compact flash or PCMCIA
card, convert it to an ASCII or binary file, and save it to disk. CardConvert
supports binary data generated by CRX000 dataloggers.
The File Control functionality, accessed from the Connect Screen, can be used
to manage files created by CRX000 dataloggers on other, non proprietary
formatted, PC cards.
3.2.11 Optional Client Products Compatible with LoggerNet
3.2.11.1 LoggerNetData
LoggerNetData consists of client applications that can be installed and run
from a remote computer connected by TCP/IP to the computer running
LoggerNet. This connection could be a local area network (LAN) or the
Internet. LoggerNetData provides you with tools to remotely monitor collected
data, retrieve data, and view or process it on the remote PC.
The applications included with LoggerNetData are RTMC, View, Split, and
Data Filer. RTMC, View, and Split are described above. Data Filer is an
application used to manually collect data from LoggerNet’s data cache, and
store the collected data to a file on a remote computer. Data Filer does not
collect data from a datalogger directly, but from the data cache. Therefore,
