Hi all,
I'm currently using a CR10 logger and installed a trial version of loggernet 4.0 on my laptop to retrieve data. After some fiddling with the usb ports, this worked fine under Windows 7 - but my trial version has now expired and, being an undergrad student with limited funds and no support in this respect from my university, I'm looking for a replacement.
All I need the software for is another ~4 weeks of data retrieval and programming the logger (although I can do the latter manually so this is not a must). Does anyone have any suggestions what I could use?
Thanks in advance!
Jon
You can use a terminal emulator to do that, see 'Telecommunication Commands' or similar in the manual. When you connect, the logger should show the current memory location. Hit B to 'backup' one array, 100B to backup 100, etc. Use D to download one array, 100D to download 100, etc. A and C give some diagnostic information, and you can get the * prompt that you see on a keypad with either 7H or 2718H (I think), and *0 to get back to the 'telecomm' prompt, which is R>.
Obviously you'll want to set the terminal emulator to 'capture text' or otherwise store the session.
Unless your program is huge and complicated, I'd just type it in directly, either with a keypad or terminal emulator in keypad mode.
Windows used to be provided with a terminal emulator, e.g., hyperterm, though I don't know if that's still the case with later versions. Hard to believe that such a simple tool would be omitted...
PC208W is free, isn't it?
No idea about PC208, but that would likely be easier for most folks. Using the terminal emulator scheme the data arrays will need to be reformatted to some extent, whereas PC208 would provide the comma-separated values you'd probably expect.
PC200W

It supports direct connect communications only, no scheduled collection, and it doesn't have a program editor, just a program generator (Short Cut).
Thanks for your responses everyone! Much appreciated! Unfortunately I'll only be able to test everything when I'm in the field and thus offline, but I'll bear everything in mind to cover all eventualities.
Cheers,
Jon
