6.2 Creating and Modifying the DataLogger.XML File
You can create and modify the DataLogger.XML file with the DataLoggerSet SOAP function.
The following section, DataLogger SOAP Interface, describes how to use DataLoggerSet and
the other SOAP functions provided for the Data Logger application.
Alternatively, you can create and modify the DataLogger.XML file manually and download it
to the
i. LON 100 via FTP. Echelon does not recommend this, as the i. LON 100 will require a
reboot to read the configuration of the downloaded file. Additionally, the i. LON 100 performs
error checking on all SOAP messages it receives before writing to the XML file. It will not
perform error checking on any XML files you download via FTP, and thus the application
may not boot properly.
However, if you plan to create and manage the DataLogger.XML file manually, you should
review the rest of this chapter first, as it describes the elements and properties in the XML
file that define each Data Logger’s configuration. For instructions on creating or modifying
an XML file manually, see Manually Modifying an XML Configuration File on page 15-1.
6.2.1 DataLogger SOAP Interface
The SOAP interface for the Data Logger application includes six functions. Table 13 lists and
describes these functions. For more information on each function, see the sections following
Table 13.
