Project | Configure Override Scheduled Collection

RTMC displays data from LoggerNet's binary data cache. By default, the data cache is updated only during scheduled or manual data collection in LoggerNet. However, the Configure Override Scheduled Collection menu item can be used to add to the data collection that is being done by LoggerNet. This will not change the scheduled collection set up in LoggerNet. It will cause additional collection to occur at the specified interval. This can be useful if you wish to display data values that are not being collected by LoggerNet or if you wish to display data at a faster rate than it is being collected by LoggerNet.

Devices

Lists the stations in the network map. Click on a station to modify its Settings. A green check mark by a station name indicates that scheduled collection is currently overridden. A red X by a station name indicates that scheduled collection is not currently overridden.

Settings

Enable Scheduled Collection Override

Select the check box to enable scheduled collection override. Clear the check box to disable scheduled collection override.

In LoggerNet, this data collection will not change the scheduled collection specified in LoggerNet's Setup window. It will cause additional collection to occur at the specified interval. It will collect the station's tables with data values that are being displayed by components in the RTMC project.

In RTDAQ, this will override RTDAQ's automatic one second polling to update the project data.

Collection Interval

Sets the interval at which data will be collected for the selected station. Use the arrows to the right of the field to increase or decrease the value, or type in a number directly. Then use the drop-down menu to choose Milliseconds, Seconds, Minutes, Hours or Days.

This field is enabled only when the Enable Scheduled Collection Override check box is selected.
