Section 5. Real-Time Tools

LoggerNet’s real-time tools are used to manage your stations in the datalogger network.

Tools are provided for sending new programs, setting the clock, toggling ports and flags,

collecting data, and displaying data numerically and graphically.

5.1 The Connect Screen

The Connect Screen provides a real-time connection to a datalogger in the

datalogger network. Tools are provided for transferring programs to the

datalogger, manually setting the datalogger’s clock, viewing and collecting

data, and communicating with the datalogger in terminal mode.

These tasks can be accomplished while actively connected to a station in the

datalogger network, or, if you are not actively connected, LoggerNet will make

the connection, perform the desired action, and then end communication with

the station.

If you have LoggerNet Admin or LoggerNet Remote installed,

you have the ability to set up security so that access to certain

functions in LoggerNet is limited. If security is enabled, you may

be unable to access certain functions in the Connect Screen.

5.1.1 Connecting to the Datalogger — or Not

The Connect Screen works with and displays data from only one datalogger at

a time. (LoggerNet Admin and LoggerNet Remote allow you to launch

multiple Connect Screens. Therefore, you can connect to more than one

datalogger at a time.) The name of the selected datalogger and the datalogger

type appear in the title bar at the top of the window. For ease of use in large

networks of many dataloggers you can list the dataloggers in alphabetical order

by selecting the List Alphabetically check box. All the station names will be

listed alphabetically to make it easier to find a specific station.
