Contains advanced programming and communication capabilities
Overview
LoggerNet is our main data logger support software package. It supports programming, communication, and data retrieval between data loggers and a PC.
LoggerNet consists of a server application and several client applications integrated into a single product. It can support connection to a single data logger, but it is especially adept in applications that require telecommunications or scheduled data retrieval used in large data logger networks.
A copy of the current software license agreement (end-user license agreement) for LoggerNet is available in the LoggerNet Instruction Manual.

LoggerNet Patch v.4.8.1 (399 MB) 04-16-2024
This patch will upgrade LoggerNet, LoggerNet Remote or LoggerNet Admin version 4.0 and newer to 4.8.1. A version of LoggerNet 4.x must be installed on the computer.
Note: This patch includes RTMC Run-time and the RTMC Standard Development v5.0.1. If you are using RTMC Pro 4.3.3 or older or CSI Web Server 1.6 or older and plan to continue creating RTMC projects, we recommend that you opt out on updating RTMC during the install or upgrade to RTMC Pro 5.0.
LoggerNet Admin and Remote:
A change was made in the way the LoggerNet 4.6 Server performs "Custom Data Collection". A corresponding change was made in the Connect Screen 4.6 client "Custom Data Collection" functionality.
If you require "Custom Data Collection" functionality with the Connect Screen client, assure that the LoggerNet Servers and Connect Screen clients are 4.6 or higher.
This application requires the Microsoft .Net 4.6.2 Framework. If it is not already installed on your computer, it can be obtained from the Microsoft Download Center.
Supported Operating Systems: (32 and 64 bit) Windows 11 or 10.
What's new in LoggerNet 4 Tutorial (exe format) v.- (12.9 MB) 09-14-2009

LoggerNet Trial v.4.8.1 (387 MB) 04-16-2024
This is a fully functional 30 day trial of the standard version of LoggerNet. This is a trial only and can not be activated as a full version with a license key. (Network setup and data is preserved from the trial when installing the full version.)
Current LoggerNet users: It is recommended that you install the trial on a computer other than the one running your existing LoggerNet. If that is not practical, we strongly recommend you back up the LoggerNet working directory to prevent backward compatibility issues if you revert to a previous version. To revert you must re-install LoggerNet using the original disk and software key.

There are several approaches you can try:
- The LNDB Interface can pull data from LoggerNet and insert it into a database instance. Supported database platforms are as follows: Microsoft SQL; MySQL; unofficially, MariaDB as it is open source MySQL, PostGRESQL, and Oracle. The database table structure and metadata will match the structure of the station’s program and the station name used in LoggerNet exactly. You cannot customize the structure. Refer to the setup documentation.
- Read or parse data from LoggerNet .dat files. The files are CSV formatted and can be parsed in using most any programming language. Files by default are stored on the LoggerNet computer in the following path: C:\Campbellsci\LoggerNet.
- LDMP Server, a LoggerNet Admin component, offers a listening socket for data to be pulled directly from the LoggerNet cache over the LoggerNet Service listening port 6789. Complete documentation in LoggerNet Admin is stored in the following path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Campbellsci\LoggerNet\ldmp_server2.pdf.
- Read in data using the CSI web server’s built in Web API. The webAPI accepts queries in the same format as the data logger’s built-in webAPI. Refer to the data logger webAPI documentation.
- The LNDB Interface can pull data from LoggerNet and insert it into a database instance. Supported database platforms are as follows: Microsoft SQL; MySQL; unofficially, MariaDB as it is open source MySQL, PostGRESQL, and Oracle. The database table structure and metadata will match the structure of the station’s program and the station name used in LoggerNet exactly. You cannot customize the structure. Refer to the setup documentation.
-
If communication is interrupted or intermittent, LoggerNet may stop updating the Table Monitor, Numeric Display, and Graphs. When this occurs, a button on the display that is normally titled Stop (to stop the update) changes to Start, and the button must be pressed to resume the update. Also, check the update interval on the display, as it may be set to a higher value than expected.
-
Follow these steps:
- Connect to the data logger using the LoggerNet Connect screen.
- Find the data logger in the Stations list, and right-click it.
- From the menu that is displayed, choose the Settings Editor.
-
Yes. If the data logger has a phone modem connected, there are Edlog and CRBasic commands that can be used to initiate calls. For example, in CRBasic a call can be made with SerialOpen(), SendVariables(), and SerialClose() instructions.
-
No. For the current licensing information, refer to the LoggerNet Instruction Manual.
-
The Retrieve button, used to retrieve a program from a data logger, is found on the LoggerNet Connect screen. Note that some data loggers, such as the CR200X-series, do not store the program in a retrievable format, and the Retrieve button will be disabled.
There is also a File Retrieval tab in LoggerNet on the Setup screen that can be used to retrieve files stored on the data logger.
-
As long as the same device is being moved from one communications route to another, all data collection pointers, filenames, etc., will be maintained with that data logger as it is moved.
-
LoggerNet collects data from the data logger first. If there is additional data on a CompactFlash card, LoggerNet collects that also. Nothing special needs to be set up in LoggerNet to have this occur.
-
LoggerNet can be configured to have two paths to a data logger, simply by entering the data logger twice in the network map with different comms links. LoggerNet, however, treats them as separate entities, so it will try to collect all the data twice via the two separate paths if both are enabled. Some users have set this up where they use one route most often, and manually enable collection to the backup route if the main link is lost.
An alternative to this scheme is to set up the backup route but not add the data logger. Then, if the main link to the data logger goes down, simply drag-and-drop the data logger to the backup route. After the main link is working again, the data logger can be moved again. This keeps data collection pointers for that data logger intact.
-
In the LoggerNet Setup screen, on the Data Files tab, there are these Collect Mode options:
- Data Logged Since Last Collection
- Most Recently Logged Records
- Collect At Most
