Contains advanced programming and communication capabilities
Overview
Current Version: 4.7
LoggerNet is our main data logger support software package. It supports programming, communication, and data retrieval between data loggers and a PC.
LoggerNet consists of a server application and several client applications integrated into a single product. It can support connection to a single data logger, but it is especially adept in applications that require telecommunications or scheduled data retrieval used in large data logger networks.
A copy of the current software license agreement (end-user license agreement) for LoggerNet is available in the LoggerNet Instruction Manual.

Detailed Description
The standard LoggerNet software package is recommended for those who have data logger networks that do not require the more advanced features offered in LoggerNet Admin. It includes the LoggerNet server and client applications. The LoggerNet server stores the data in a cache and writes data to a variety of formats, including ASCII, binary, and XML.
The LoggerNet server and client applications enable you to do the following:
- Configure the server to communicate with multiple data loggers via a variety of communications hardware
- Create custom data logger programs using Short Cut, Edlog, or the CRBasic Editor
- Connect to a data logger to check or set the clock, send programs, or perform other administrative functions
- Collect data on demand or schedule
- Monitor and troubleshoot the network
- Display real-time data in a numeric display or graph
- View and graph data files
- Create graphical data displays that update when data is collected and allow you to control flags, ports, and variables
- Create automated tasks
- Process data files using Split
- Save data in formats (including CSV and XML) that can be imported into third-party analysis packages.
The client applications included in the standard LoggerNet software package are the following:
- Setup
- Connect
- Status Monitor

LoggerNet Patch v.4.7 (343 MB) 16-03-2021
This patch will upgrade LoggerNet, LoggerNet Remote or LoggerNet Admin version 4.0 and newer to 4.7. A version of LoggerNet 4.x must be installed on the computer.
Note: This patch includes RTMC Run-time and the RTMC Standard Development v5.0. If you are using RTMC Pro 4.3.3 or older and plan to continue creating RTMC projects, we recommend that you upgrade to RTMC Pro 5.0.
LoggerNet Admin and Remote:
A change was made in the way the LoggerNet 4.6 Server performs "Custom Data Collection". A corresponding change was made in the Connect Screen 4.6 client "Custom Data Collection" functionality.
If you require "Custom Data Collection" functionality with the Connect Screen client, assure that the LoggerNet Servers and Connect Screen clients are 4.6 or higher.
This application requires the Microsoft .Net 4.6.2 Framework. If it is not already installed on your computer, it can be obtained from the Microsoft Download Center.
Supported Operating Systems: (32 and 64 bit) Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8 or 7.

-
It is certainly possible for two instances of LoggerNet to communicate with the data logger. Depending on the link type and capability of the data logger, they may be able to do so simultaneously. However, it is important to ensure that each of the PakBusPort devices in each LoggerNet instance has a unique PakBus address.
-
In the LoggerNet Setup screen, on the Data Files tab, there are these Collect Mode options:
- Data Logged Since Last Collection
- Most Recently Logged Records
- Collect At Most
-
No. For the current licensing information, refer to the LoggerNet Instruction Manual.
-
The Retrieve button, used to retrieve a program from a data logger, is found on the LoggerNet Connect screen. Note that some data loggers, such as the CR200X-series, do not store the program in a retrievable format, and the Retrieve button will be disabled.
There is also a File Retrieval tab in LoggerNet on the Setup screen that can be used to retrieve files stored on the data logger.
-
LoggerNet collects data from the data logger first. If there is additional data on a CompactFlash card, LoggerNet collects that also. Nothing special needs to be set up in LoggerNet to have this occur.
-
Yes, but only if the communications links to the data loggers allow simultaneous communication. For example, two mixed-array data loggers can be contacted simultaneously using two different COM ports; however, if they are accessed via the same COM port, LoggerNet can connect to only one at a time.
-
The LoggerNet server imposes no specific limits on the lengths of the generic modem scripts.
-
Using the LoggerNet Connect screen, check the data logger Status table.
-
LoggerNet and VisualWeather are the only datalogger support software packages, offered by Campbell Scientific, that perform scheduled data collection.
