Section 8. CsiDatalogger
8.1 Purpose of the CsiDatalogger Control
The CsiDatalogger control allows the developer to manage datalogger
functions through the LoggerNet server. The basic managerial functions of this
control include: sending a program to the datalogger, retrieving a program from
the datalogger, checking the clock on the datalogger as well as setting it to the
current time, setting variable values, and performing manual polls of the
datalogger. Another important function creates an active connection between
the server and the datalogger, to eliminate connection and disconnection
overhead on slower connections.
8.2 Connecting to the Server
There are two basic actions required for this control to connect to the
LoggerNet server:
1. Set server properties:
•
serverName - The name or IP address of the LoggerNet server . The
default value is
localhost.
•
serverPort - The port on which the LoggerNet server is running.
The default value is 6789
•
serverLogonName (Optional) - If security has been enabled on the
server, a valid logon name is required.
•
serverLogonPassword (Optional) - If security has been enabled on
the server, a valid password that corresponds with a valid logon name
is required.
2. Invoke the
serverConnect() method.
