Preface — What’s New in LoggerNet 4?

Connect Screen

The Connect Screen has been reorganized with most of the buttons now

residing on a toolbar at the top of the window.

A Table Monitor has been added in the middle of the window that can be used

to monitor the values for one entire table.

A Notes field has been added that displays the information from the Setup

Screen’s Notes tab of the selected datalogger.

A connection made in the Connect Screen is now subject to the Maximum

Time On-Line configured in the Setup Screen. (See the Device Settings help in

Section 4, Setting up Datalogger Networks, for information on how the

Maximum Time On-Line setting will affect a connection made using

LoggerNet Admin or LoggerNet Remote 4.0 to connect to a remote server

running an older version of LoggerNet.)

The Pause Data Displays option has been moved to the Edit menu. (In previous

versions it was available as a check box on the Connect Screen.)

The Update Interval for data displays has been moved from the Options dialog

to the display’s main window.

New options added to the data displays include an Auto Format option (rather

than specifying the number of decimal places to display), the ability to format

the timestamp for numeric displays, and the ability to specify what will happen

when a NAN is encountered in a graph.

The configuration of the data displays can now be saved.

A new File Format option, CSIXML, has been added to Custom Collection.

When this option is selected, data is stored in XML format with Campbell

Scientific defined elements and attributes. For Custom Collection, you also

now have the option of whether or not to include timestamps and/or record

numbers.

Status Monitor

Two new statistics are now available to be monitored: Link Time Remaining

(the time remaining, in milliseconds, until Maximum Time On-Line is reached

and the device is automatically disconnected) and RFTD Blacklisted (indicates

that a station has been blacklisted by an RF Base because of a failed

communication attempt).

Task Master

A new event type, After File Closed, has been added to the Task Master. Using

this event type, a task will be executed anytime a data file being written to is

closed.

Along with the above event type, FTP and SFTP capabilities have been added

which allow the just closed file to be transferred to a designated FTP server.
