Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks
Delete Files After Retrieval – When this box is selected, the files will be
deleted from the datalogger after they are retrieved.
Add New – When this button is pressed, a new pattern is added to the list of
files to be retrieved. The user must then designate the File Pattern, Output
Directory, Max Files, Force Retrieval, and Record If Skipped fields for this
pattern.
Delete – When this button is pressed, the selected pattern is deleted from the
list of files to be retrieved.
Edit File Pattern – Specifies a file pattern that will select the files that will be
retrieved. Select an option from the drop-down list or type it in directly. This
can be an exact filename or it can contain the wildcard characters “*” or “?”.
The asterisk is able to replace zero or more characters while the question mark
replaces exactly one character. The file pattern can also have a prefix indicating
the drive from which to retrieve the files. For example, USR:*.jpg will select
all .jpg files on the USR drive. Note that the file pattern is case insensitive.
Output Directory – Enter the directory to store the retrieved files. It can be
entered into the field directly, or you can press the browse button to the right of
the field to select a path from the Explorer window.
Max Files – Specifies the maximum number of files that can be retrieved on
each retrieval. The newest files will be retrieved.
Force Retrieval – When this box is selected, a file that matches the file pattern
will be retrieved regardless of the file’s timestamp or whether the file has
already been retrieved.
Record If Skipped – When this box is selected, the names and dates of any
files that are not retrieved because of the Max Files parameter will be recorded
and they will not be retrieved later. If this box is not selected, the skipped files
can be retrieved in a later attempt.
4.2.4.5 PhoneBase
The PhoneBase is a telephone modem connected to one of the server’s
ComPorts to provide access to other devices in the datalogger network. The
PhoneBase has only Hardware and Notes tabs. This device must be properly
installed and configured in the operating system to use one of the computer’s
ComPorts before it can be used by LoggerNet.
Standard
Communications Enabled – Before communications can take place, all
devices in the chain must have the Communications Enabled box checked.
When this box is selected, communications to the phone modem are enabled.
Maximum Baud Rate – Select the arrow to the right of this field to choose a
maximum baud rate for communication with this device. Note that the actual
rate of communication may be limited by the capability of other devices in the
communications chain.
Edit Modem Database – The modem connected to the server computer may
not be listed in the database, or the user may desire to change the modem
