RTMC Run-time

RTMC Run-time allows you to run the real-time graphic display screen that was created in RTMC. In LoggerNet, you can test the operation of the display screen from the RTMC window by clicking the Save and Run button ( ) on the toolbar. This will start the project window with RTMC Run-time as shown in the window below.

In RTDAQ, you must launch RTMC Run-time from the RTDAQ toolbar, and then open the project you have developed in RTMC. When the run-time display screen is started, the display components will have an exclamation point in a red circle at the upper right until data is received from LoggerNet or RTDAQ. In LoggerNet, if data is not displayed, check to see that the data is being collected. This can be done in the LoggerNet Setup screen. Click on the appropriate station and then choose the Schedule tab. Also check the Data Files tab to verify the desired table is enabled for scheduled collection. In RTDAQ, check to see that RTDAQ is connected to the datalogger.

Once a project file has been created, the display screen can be run without starting RTMC. From the Windows Start Menu select RTMC Run-time. In the run-time window select File | Open Project to select the RTMC project screen to run. If Remember Username and Password was not selected in RTMC, it will be necessary to enter them each time the project is run in RTMC Run-time.

In run-time mode, you can print an image of the RTMC display screen by selecting File | Print Screen. A new form to be run is selected under File | Open Project.

A copy of RTMC Run-time comes with LoggerNet and RTDAQ. When RTMC Pro is installed on a computer, RTMC Run-time will be updated to match the RTMC Pro version. For LoggerNet, if you want to run RTMC Pro projects on remote computers, additional copies of RTMC Run-time can be purchased separately. One copy is required for each computer on which RTMC Run-time will be used. As noted above, when running RTMC Run-time on a remote computer, the host computer must have Remote Connections enabled (LoggerNet Toolbar, Tools | Options | Allow Remote Connections).
