Overview

Current version: 4.0

The Baler software connects to the LoggerNet Server from a remote PC and creates bales of data at regular intervals based on the date/time stamps in the data. Baler's primary function is to access data on the LoggerNet server, bundle appropriate data, and store the data on the client computer.

Benefits and Features

  • Extracts data from the LoggerNet Server cache and creates a data file
  • Allows multiple instances of Baler to bale data according to different conditions

Detailed Description

The Baler client is ideal for applications in which the data will be imported to a database or a third-party analysis program.

Specifically, the Baler client:

  • Accesses data stored in the data cache of the LoggerNet server
  • Bales data into files at regular intervals based on the date/time stamps in the data
  • Names the “bales” according to the datalogger, table names, and time of bale
  • Stores the data on the client PC
  • Logs status of baling events
  • Allows the user to run multiple instances of Baler to “bale” data at different intervals
  • Offers the option to execute a command line operation after each baling event


Unlike LoggerNetData and RTMCRT, Baler does not include functionality to view or interact with the data. The datafile names are based on the datalogger and table names. Multiple instances of Baler can be run with separate working directories if data must be baled according to different conditions.
