Message Parsing Window

When you are trying to determine the cause of a communication problem with a datalogger, it can be overwhelming trying to interpret all of the information coming from all of the devices in the network. It is possible to apply a filter so that messages for only the device(s) you are interested in are shown in the LogTool displays.

The left side of the LogTool window displays a list of all devices in the network. By default, this list is set to Show All Msgs. When this option is selected, all communication messages for all devices in the network will be displayed in the logs. You can look at the logs for one or more devices in the network by choosing Select by Device from the drop-down list box, and then selecting the check box that appears to the left of each device for which you wish to view logs. This option makes available all devices in the network, including COM ports, modems, RF devices, etc. If you want to view logs for datalogger stations only, choose the Select by Station option from the list box and check the box for one or more dataloggers. Both the Select by Device and Select by Station options have a List Alphabetically check box. This can make it easier to find the desired device or station.
