Data Logger/Loggernet Software

Software

  • PC400 - Cannot be used for web interface purposes since software does not enable scheduled data collection (which is required to run projects with RTMC.
  • RTMC/RTMC Pro- software allows you to build projects which visualize realtime data. Projects can then be run via web server and displayed online.
  • LoggerNet 2.1- currently outdated
  • LoggerNet 4.2- latest version. Allows scheduled data collection. Includes RTMC PRO, may or may not include web server.

* Note: Connecting to datalogger will not be possible if Loggernet or PC400 software is running on other platforms i.e. glaceridge1 .
