Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks

Stay On Collect Schedule – By default, when LoggerNet has missed a

scheduled collection because of some condition (i.e. LoggerNet was closed,

scheduled collection was disabled, the schedule was paused from the Status

Monitor, etc.), once the condition that prevented collection is no longer true, if

an entire collection interval has elapsed since the last collection attempt,

LoggerNet will immediately try to perform a collection. In some cases, this

may not be the desired behavior. Selecting the Stay On Collect Schedule check

box will cause LoggerNet to always wait until the next even Collection Interval

to perform a collection.

Reschedule On Data – When this box is selected, each time that data is

received for a station, the data collection schedule will be reset using the

current system time as the base time.

Poll for statistics ─ The Status Monitor displays information about datalogger

data collection and communication status. There are some potential useful

statistics (columns) that are available for some dataloggers that are not

available for other datalogger types. Sometimes there are statistics obtained

automatically as part of data collection for some dataloggers but can be only

obtained with additional communication commands for other dataloggers. In

this latter case, these statistics are not retrieved by default as users with slow or

expensive communication may not wish to incur the additional cost or time

associated with the extra commands. In cases where the user does want to

retrieve the additional statistics, the

Poll for Statistics setting can be enabled to

request that the statistics are retrieved. The statistics will be retrieved during

scheduled or manual data collection.

The LoggerNet server maps Status Table values to server statistics as follows:

Collect Ports and Flags – If this box is checked, the current state of the ports

and flags is collected and stored in LoggerNet’s internal data cache. This

allows functions such as the Numeric Display and view ports and flags to get

updated data with scheduled data collection.

When the Server’s Table Definitions are Invalid – This option determines

what action should be taken in the data cache during scheduled data collection

(or upon the arrival of a One Way Data or Data Advise record) when

LoggerNet determines that the table definitions it has stored for a table-based

datalogger and the table definitions actually in the datalogger do not match.
