LoggerNet Options
The following options can be set by selecting Tools | Options from LoggerNet’s main menu:
General Tab
View
Stay on Top - This option forces the Toolbar to appear on top of all other applications.
Show Legacy Applications – When this option is selected, legacy applications (Edlog and Transformer) will be shown on the toolbar.
Tray Icon - This option places a LoggerNet icon in the system tray.
Tray Icon Only When Minimized – When this option is selected, the system tray icon will only be visible when LoggerNet is minimized.
Hide Taskbar Icon When Minimized – When this option is selected, the taskbar icon will not be visible when LoggerNet is minimized. Only the system tray icon will be visible.
Language - Certain LoggerNet clients can display the user interface component text (for buttons, dialog boxes, etc.) in an alternate language, if a separate LoggerNet language package has been installed. If a language package is installed on your machine, you will see the language in the list for the Languages menu. When a new language is chosen, the Toolbar will immediately reflect the change. Opened clients will not reflect the change until they are closed and reopened.
Applications that support alternate languages are Setup, Connect, Status Monitor, Task Master, Short Cut, CRBasic Editor, View Pro, CardConvert, TroubleShooter, Network Planner, PakBus Graph, LogTool, the Device Configuration Utility, and Data Export.
NOTE: Available language packages are provided by Campbell Scientific's international representatives or on the CSI website. They are not included in a standard LoggerNet installation.
Behavior
Minimize Clients when Toolbar Minimizes - When this option is selected, minimizing the LoggerNet toolbar also minimizes all LoggerNet clients.
Allow Remote Connections - If client applications running on a remote device need to connect to the LoggerNet server (such as RTMC or LoggerNet Mobile Connect, or when running LoggerNet Admin or LoggerNet Remote), Allow Remote Connections must be enabled. This is done by selecting the Allow Remote Connections menu item. When it is enabled, a check will appear beside the menu item. To disable remote connections, select the menu item a second time.
Though this may be a desirable feature, enabling remote access also makes your LoggerNet network configuration vulnerable to changes by other parties on the network.
Therefore, if using standard LoggerNet (not LoggerNet Admin), we strongly recommend that you select Remote Connection Security Enabled and input (and confirm) a password. (The username cannot be changed.) The username and password will then be required before other parties on the network can connect to the LoggerNet server.
If using LoggerNet Admin, we strongly recommend that the Security Manager be used to set up account access with password protection to limit the ability to make changes to the datalogger network. (The Security Manager can be opened by pressing the Security Manager button under Allow Remote Connections.)
Launch Multiple Clients (available only in LoggerNet Admin/LoggerNet Remote) - This option allows you to open multiple instances of a single LoggerNet client (e.g., open one or more Connect Screens and connect to multiple dataloggers). This option is enabled by selecting it from the options menu. When enabled, a check mark will appear to the left of the menu option. It is disabled by selecting it a second time. This feature is available only in LoggerNet Admin/LoggerNet Remote.
NOTE: When launching multiple instances of a client connected to the same server, all instances will use the same *.ini file (initialization file). This *.ini file is saved any time any instance is closed. This means that each new instance will come up with the configuration that was saved the last time any instance was closed. In the Connect screen, for example, this affects such things as the size and position of the window, whether clock updates are paused, whether the data displays are paused, and the station last connected to. Therefore, after closing a Connect screen with paused data displays, when a new Connect screen is launched, it will come up with the data displays paused.
Allow IPv6 Connections - This option enables IPv6 connections. IPv6 addresses are written as eight two-byte address blocks separated by colons and surrounded by brackets (e.g., [2620:24:8080:8600:85a1:fcf2:2172:11bf]). When this option is not enabled, only IPv4 connections are allowed. IPv4 addresses are written in dotted decimal notation (e.g., 192.168.11.197). Leading zeroes are stripped for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This option is enabled by selecting it from the options menu. When enabled, a check mark will appear to the left of the menu option. It is disabled by selecting it a second time.
Favorites Tab
The Favorites tab allows you to specify which applications will be available in the Favorites category. The Available Applications column shows all applications that are available in LoggerNet. (Press the + sign next to a category to show the applications in that category.) An application can be added to the Favorites category by selecting it in the Available Applications column and pressing the right arrow key. An application can be removed from the Favorites category by selecting it in the Favorites column and pressing the left arrow key.
The applications will appear on the Toolbar’s Favorites category in the same order as they appear in the Favorites column. The up and down arrow keys can be used to rearrange the order of applications in the Favorites column. To move an application up in the Favorites column, select the application and press the up arrow until the application is in the desired location. Use the down arrow key in a similar manner to move the application down in the Favorites column.
