Installation

If you are installing LoggerNet from a download, run the executable file, LoggerNet_version.exe, to begin the installation.

If you are installing from a CD, place the installation disk in your computer’s CD drive. If autorun is enabled for the drive, the LoggerNet installation will start automatically. If the installation does not start automatically, use the Browse button to access the CD drive and select the autorun.exe file from the disk.

The first screen displayed by the installation is a Welcome screen. Click Next to proceed to the licensing agreement. After reading the licensing agreement, select the “I Accept…” option and select Next to proceed to the User Information screen. At the bottom of the User Information screen is a field for entering the key for the software. The key is found in your email to download the software or on the back of the CD case in which LoggerNet is shipped. Use the drop-down list box for the first part of the key to select the software being installed: LGRNET (LoggerNet), LGNADM (LoggerNet Admin), or LGNRMT (LoggerNet Remote). Note that you must select the correct LoggerNet version for your key or you cannot proceed further in the installation. After entering the key, select Next and continue through the remaining screens, following the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.

Items are added to your computer’s Start menu under Campbell Scientific that start the Toolbar and some other selected utilities. At the end of installation you also have the option to add a desktop shortcut to LoggerNet.

By default, the installation copies the LoggerNet program files to the C:\Program Files (x86)\CampbellSci\LoggerNet directory. Many operating system configurations will require the user name under which the software is installed to have administrative privileges to the computer. After the software is installed, administrative privileges are not required by the user to run the software.

In addition to placing files in the Program Files directory of your computer, the installation also creates working directories for the LoggerNet server and the individual LoggerNet applications under C:\CampbellSci. LoggerNet Directory Structure provides more detail on the directories that are created.

If you are installing the trial version of LoggerNet, you will have 30 days to use this fully functional trial version. Each time you run LoggerNet, you will be advised as to how many days are remaining on your trial version. At the end of the 30 days, the trial version of LoggerNet will no longer function.

If you choose to purchase LoggerNet, you will need to uninstall the trial version, run the install program (from a download or CD), and input the key. This can be done either before or after the 30-day trial period has expired.

Note that the trial version will install applications in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Campbellsci\Demo directory. When the purchased version of LoggerNet is installed, the applications will each be installed in their own directory under C:\Program Files (x86)\Campbellsci.
