The standard operating systems of our

CR510, CR10X, CR23X, and CR7 data-

loggers store data in an array-based for-

mat. The standard operating systems of

our CR5000 and CR9000 store data in the

table-based format. While PC208W only

supports dataloggers with array-based

data format and LoggerNet 1.x only sup-

ports table-based data format, LoggerNet

2.0 can support both data file formats,

allowing dataloggers with either operating

system to be in the same network. As a

result, we've added the table-data operat-

ing systems to our US price list.

New LoggerNet handles both data file formats

VisualWeather

software is for cus-

tomers who want reliable, real-time

weather data without worrying about

technical details, such as programming

the weather station, using client-server

technology, or maintaining databases.

VisualWeather helps customers set up

and use our preconfigured weather sta-

tions—the ET106 or MetData1—in just a

few minutes. Each station's program is

automatically generated as you select the

sensors, scan interval, output interval, and

communication path. VisualWeather sup-

ports five modes of communication:

direct, short haul, phone, phone-to-RF,

and RF.

VisualWeather supports multiple

weather stations, allowing customers to

connect to any ET106 or MetData1 sta-

tion set up using VisualWeather. Data can

be collected manually or by setting the

software to make scheduled calls. Visual-

Weather stores the retrieved data in a

database, which is transparent to the user.

The data can be exported in comma-sepa-

rated ASCII format for storage or data

processing.

You can create daily, 24 hour, 7-day, or

30-day reports for any station currently in

the network. Historical reports can be

generated for active stations or for sta-

tions that have been removed from the

network. Evapotranspiration (ETo), crop

water needs, and growing-degree-days

can be obtained by entering a few para-

meters, such as station elevation, latitude,

and longitude. Each report contains a

graph as well as tabular data in metric or

US units. You can also plot custom

graphs including wind roses, wind chill,

or heat units. These features, combined

with a simple user interface, make

VisualWeather a powerful software pack-

age for novices and experts.

LoggerNet

Continued from Page 1

PC208W owners can upgrade to

LoggerNet for roughly 50 percent of

the LoggerNet list price. Free "within-

version" patches will be offered from

our Web site as they are released (e.g.,

from LoggerNet 2.0 to 2.1).

Client-Server Power

LoggerNet consists of a server

application and several client applica-

tions. The server application is the

heart of LoggerNet communications.

Client applications connect to the serv-

er to change its settings, use its fea-

tures, and extract data. One example

of client/server architecture is email.

When you send email, you're working

with a client application on your PC

(e.g., Outlook, Eudora, Pegasus). The

client application sends messages to a

server. The server connects with the

Internet to send and receive email mes-

sages for you and others. You can

instruct your client email program to

connect to the server and retrieve any

email message stored on the server for

you.

Similarly, the LoggerNet server is

the program that runs on the main PC,

which uses TCP/IP to communicate

with client applications. You set up the

network to use phone modems, tele-

phony devices, RF modems, TCP/IP

sockets and other devices to communi-

cate with the dataloggers. The server

stores the data in ASCII files. Both

client and server applications can run

on the same PC providing the "one

computer feel" of PC208W. Altern-

atively, any PC can "talk to" to the

server via TCP/IP allowing the client

PCs to be anywhere. Client applica-

tions set or change the network, request

real-time connections to dataloggers

(for setting the clock, sending pro-

grams, monitoring, etc.), or create new

ASCII files. For LoggerNet 2.0, this

only benefits those who use RTMC to

view data from another PC. In future

versions, other client applications will

be able to use this function.

One of LoggerNet's new applica-

tions is the Real Time Monitoring and

Control Client (RTMC). RTMC allows

users to configure their screens to dis-

play and set input locations, flags and

ports as well as view final storage data.

It provides digital, tabular, graphical,

and binary data objects, and alarms.

RTMC can display data from any num-

ber of dataloggers in the network and

organize the data on multi-tabbed dis-

plays. It offers a variety of background

graphics, but allows you to supply your

own graphics to customize your screen.

RTMC saves forms that can be dis-

played on a run-time basis.

We're excited about the versatility

and power that LoggerNet 2.0 brings to

our customers. Combining the func-

tionality of PC208W, LoggerNet 1.0,

and RTMS into LoggerNet 2.0 pro-

vides the ability to mix and match dat-

aloggers and data acquisition needs on

a common software platform.

LoggerNet 2.0 is poised to take advan-

tage of the new communications proto-

cols now available, providing easy

access to TCP/IP protocols and third

party software programs.

VisualWeather:

Your data in just

a few minutes

Use VisualWeather to program and display

data from your preconfigured weather station.

The AM416 Multiplexer has been retired, but

technical support and repair will continue to be

available. The AM16/32 replaces the AM416,

and offers several design improvements includ-

ing a smaller footprint, break before make

relays, and the ability to manually switch

between "2 x 32" and "4 x 16" modes.

AM16/32 replaces AM416 Multiplexer CR23X memory boosted

The onboard memory

contained in the standard

CR23X has increased from 1

to 2 megabytes. Despite the

doubling of memory storage

capacity, the price of the

CR23X remains the same.
