Selecting date ranges in LoggerNet


pgil Oct 25, 2010 04:31 PM

Is there a way LoggerNet 4.0 can select a specific date range and create a separate file, other than the table1.dat file? I want to select, for instance, the month of October with the header files to a separate file without manually doing this. Thanks.Pedro

Have you tried clicking on the "Custom" button in the connect screen?

This is after the data are already collected from the logger. Data are collected everyday.

As tmecham suggests, Custom Collect can be used to specify a range of data and then store that to a different file. If you have LNDB and it is set up to store the data into a database, you can also pull out a range of data and store it into a separate data file. These two operations, however, are manual ones.

There is a LoggerNet client called Baler (purchased separately from LoggerNet) that will watch all the records going into the data cache and store those in a temporary file, and then write the file out when a time interval is met (for instance, 1 day or 1 week). This process is fully automated, but the risk of doing this over a month is that computers rarely run for a month straight without some sort of crash.

You can also use Split to post-process a *.dat file. Look in the help about setting up a Start & Stop condition using the:E[Month%Day]:: syntax. You could run this manually, or you can set up a Split par file to be run automatically as a scheduled task in LoggerNet.

Hopefully, one of these will help you achieve what you are looking for.
