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.

Detailed Description
The standard LoggerNet software package is recommended for those who have data logger networks that do not require the more advanced features offered in LoggerNet Admin. It includes the LoggerNet server and client applications. The LoggerNet server stores the data in a cache and writes data to a variety of formats, including ASCII, binary, and XML.
The LoggerNet server and client applications enable you to do the following:
- Configure the server to communicate with multiple data loggers via a variety of communications hardware
- Create custom data logger programs using Short Cut, Edlog, or the CRBasic Editor
- Connect to a data logger to check or set the clock, send programs, or perform other administrative functions
- Collect data on demand or schedule
- Monitor and troubleshoot the network
- Display real-time data in a numeric display or graph
- View and graph data files
- Create graphical data displays that update when data is collected and allow you to control flags, ports, and variables
- Create automated tasks
- Process data files using Split
- Save data in formats (including CSV and XML) that can be imported into third-party analysis packages.
The client applications included in the standard LoggerNet software package are the following:
- Setup
- Connect
- Status Monitor
- Task Master
- Short Cut
- CRBasic Editor
- Edlog
- Transformer
- RTMC Development
- RTMC Run-Time
- View Pro
- Split
- CardConvert

Additional Compatibility Information
Communications
LoggerNet runs on a PC, using serial ports, telephony drivers, and Ethernet hardware to communicate with data loggers via phone modems, RF devices, and other peripherals.
Software
The development tool of RTMC Pro 1.x and 2.x is not compatible with the RTMC run-time and the standard RTMC development tool in LoggerNet 4. An upgrade for RTMC Pro must be purchased separately.
Computer
LoggerNet is a collection of 32-bit programs designed to run on Intel-based computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems. LoggerNet runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11. LoggerNet runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these operating systems.
Other Products
LoggerNet supports most commercially available sensors, SDM devices, multiplexers, relays, vibrating-wire interfaces, ET107, CompactFlash cards, microSD cards, and PC cards.

LoggerNet Patch v.4.9 (419 MB) 02-10-2024
This patch will upgrade LoggerNet, LoggerNet Remote or LoggerNet Admin version 4.0 and newer to 4.9. 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 v5.0.1.
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) 14-09-2009
LoggerNet 4.0 was released in August of 2009. This tutorial demonstrates some of the new features and enhancements. Two new applications, View Pro and the Network Planner, are introduced.
LoggerNet Trial v.4.9 (423 MB) 02-10-2024
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.
Note: 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Number of FAQs related to LoggerNet: 132

-
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.
-
If only scheduled collection is running, LoggerNet will connect to the data logger, collect the data, and then disconnect automatically.
-
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.
-
The LoggerNet server imposes no specific limits on the lengths of the generic modem scripts.
-
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.
-
LoggerNet and VisualWeather are the only datalogger support software packages, offered by Campbell Scientific, that perform scheduled data collection.
-
The station’s data logger clock can be set from the Connect screen. It can also be set from the Clock tab in the Setup screen.
-
No, but the Help in the Edlog and CRBasic editors is complete with all of this information. The CRBasic Editor Help also includes extensive examples.
-
Typically, blue screens are the result of bad device drivers. The Internet can be very helpful in tracking down the cause of blue screens. Copy down the codes displayed. Search the Internet for “blue screen” and the code to see what device is causing the crash. Often, an updated device driver will resolve the issue.
-
On table-based data loggers, in the LoggerNet Setup screen, on the Data Files tab, there is the Collect at Most option that can be used to indicate how many records to collect. Based on how often data is stored, a calculation can be made to determine how many records represent x hours of data.
