2.3.1 LoggerNet Directory Structure and File Descriptions

2.3.1.1 Program Directory

As described in the installation procedures, all of the files for program

execution are stored in the C:\Program Files\Campbellsci\LoggerNet directory.

This includes the executables, DLLs, and most of the application help files.

This directory does not need to be included in back up efforts. LoggerNet and

its applications rely on registry entries to run correctly; therefore, any

restoration of the program should be done by reinstalling the software from the

original CD.

2.3.1.2 Working Directories

In this version of LoggerNet, each major application keeps its own working

directory. The working directory holds the user files created by the

application, as well as configuration and initialization (*.INI) files. Because of

this working directory scheme (implemented in version 3.0), when you use File

| Open in Edlog, CRBasic Editor, Split, etc., you may find yourself in an

unfamiliar directory and may have to navigate to a different directory to find

existing data files, datalogger programs, etc.

This scheme was implemented because we use the underlying tools and many

of the applications (the server itself, library files, datalogger program editors,

etc.) in a number of different products. By providing a common working

directory for each major application, we hope to make it easier to keep track of

files and information as you move from one product to another.

The following figure shows the typical working directories for LoggerNet if

the default options were selected during installation.
