Section 12. Optional Client Applications Available for LoggerNet
12.7 CSIOPC Server (PC-OPC)
The CSIOPC Server is a LoggerNet client that makes OPC data available to
third-party OPC clients. OPC is an acronym for “OLE (Object Linking and
Embedding) for Process Control”. It is a set of industry standards, based on
Microsoft’s OLE technology, designed to provide a common interface between
automation and control hardware and software. The OPC specifications were
developed by a group of organizations involved in the automation and control
industries in conjunction with Microsoft Corporation. CSIOPC Server is a
server application developed by Campbell Scientific to provide data from its
dataloggers, via LoggerNet data acquisition and management software, in an
OPC format to other applications. The CSIOPC Server supports OPC Data
Access Specification 2.05a.
The CSIOPC Server is not covered in this manual. The CSIOPC Server comes
with a separate user’s manual. Product literature can be downloaded from our

12.8 Software Development Kit
The LoggerNet-SDK Software Development Kit offers a flexible and powerful
programming tool to easily create innovative applications that communicate
with our dataloggers. Applications developed using the SDK require a
LoggerNet license for use. LoggerNet-SDK features ActiveX® controls that
dovetail into an integrated development environment such as Microsoft’s
Visual Basic® or Borland’s Delphi®.
LoggerNet-SDK’s controls encapsulate some of the fundamental tasks users
want to perform with our dataloggers. LoggerNet-SDK includes a Beginner’s
Guide, a Programmer’s Reference, and examples.
The LoggerNet-SDK is not covered in this manual. The SDK comes with a
separate user’s manual. Product literature can be downloaded from our website
at www.campbellsci.com.
