Only . This software-enabled option provides a means to collect serial data from various devices, convert it
to channel values, and store it synchronously with the devices analog and digital inputs. Virtually any
serial device that sources continuous ASCII data, including Global Positioning System (GPS) devices, gas
flow meters, and scales, is compatible. GPS devices conforming to the NMEA 0183 standard are
supported directly in the LogView interface, so no knowledge of the data format is necessary.
Note: The LogBook/GPS option is enabled from the Authorization dialog box, selected from LogView’s
File pull-down menu. Details are provided in chapter 6. Use the code shown below:

LogBook/Modem , Modem and Upload Scheduler Software Support . With this software-enabled
option, a modem-connected PC can communicate with LogBook virtually anywhere in the world. Any
Hayes-compatible modem can be attached to the LogBook’s serial port. Both standard desktop and
wireless modems are supported. The Upload Scheduler is an independent application that allows the user
to configure upload events on one or more LogBooks. To avoid waiting for a lengthy upload to complete,
the Scheduler can be configured to perform the upload during unattended off-hours. For example, three
upload events could be configured in the Scheduler, each for an upload of data at different hours. The
Upload Scheduler can save valuable time by performing unattended uploads; especially in cases where
modem-connected LogBooks are operating at slow baud rates.
Note: The LogBook/Modem option is enabled from the Authorization dialog box, selected from
LogView’s File pull-down menu. Details are provided in chapter 7. Use the above code.
