Contains advanced programming and communication capabilities
Overview
Current Version: 4.7
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. The recommended minimum computer configuration for running LoggerNet is Windows 7. LoggerNet also runs on Windows 8, 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.4.7 (343 MB) 16-03-2021
This patch will upgrade LoggerNet, LoggerNet Remote or LoggerNet Admin version 4.0 and newer to 4.7. 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. If you are using RTMC Pro 4.3.3 or older and plan to continue creating RTMC projects, we recommend that you 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, 10, 8.1, 8 or 7.
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.4.7 (351 MB) 16-03-2021
This is a fully functional 30 day trial of the standard version of LoggerNet.
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, 10, 8.1, 8 or 7.
Frequently Asked Questions

-
Typically, a backup from an older version of LoggerNet will work on a newer version, but there will be issues trying to go from a newer version back to an older version.
-
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.
-
There are two station names associated with a data logger. One name is the Station Name used in the LoggerNet network map. The other name is the Station Name field in the data logger Status table. Almost all data file formats work in LoggerNet include a station name in the header of the data file. By default, the network map station name is used. However, a checkbox in the LoggerNet Setup window, Data Files tab, allows choosing the data logger Status table station name instead.
-
A program snippet, such as the one below, would work for this purpose. The Boolean variable can be toggled from the Ports & Flags screen in LoggerNet (accessed via the Connect screen), through the Numeric Display (also accessed via the Connect screen), or under program control.
public StoreDataFlag as boolean
DataTable (ConditionalTable,StoreDataFlag,100)
Sample (1,counter,Long)
EndTable
When storing data conditionally, be sure to allocate a specific number of records in the size parameter of the DataTable() instruction. For more information, see the Data Table Memory Allocation Tutorial.
-
First, make sure the most recent version of LoggerNet is being used. (Improvements were made between versions 4.0 and 4.1 that resolved some issues with LoggerNet and some USB-to-serial cable drivers.) Next, ensure that the most recent drivers from the cable manufacturer are being used. Often, newer drivers are developed for devices after they are released, and the software shipped with those devices is not updated. The drivers can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
-
LoggerNet and VisualWeather are the only datalogger support software packages, offered by Campbell Scientific, that perform scheduled data collection.
-
Because the directory in which the executable files are installed is C:\Program Files\CampbellSci\LoggerNet, many operating system configurations require the user account under which the software is installed to have administrative privileges on the computer. However, after the software is installed, administrative privileges are not required by the user to run the software.
-
For the current licensing information, refer to the LoggerNet Instruction Manual. Two copies of LoggerNet would need to be purchased for use on the two computers.
Campbell Scientific offers free PC200W software (available for download) that enables the following:
- Connecting to a data logger through a serial port (including direct connect, short haul modems, or radios)
- Monitoring data
- Collecting data
- Sending or retrieving a program
There is no restriction as to how many machines the PC200W software can be installed on.
-
The LoggerNet application is distributed on CD media and can be installed in minutes.
-
If only scheduled collection is running, LoggerNet will connect to the data logger, collect the data, and then disconnect automatically.
