Section 5. Software Installation and Settings

Now reopen Net Admin and go to the logger previously set up. Now we will check to see if the Table Definitions have updated correctly by going to the Data Collection tab. It could look like the following picture.

Now select the Scheduled Collection tab again. Here you need to enable the scheduled collection by selecting the Scheduled Collection Enabled box. Note: if the LoggerNet server is open, it will probably initiate connection to the station as soon as this is enabled. You can close the server by right clicking on the blue icon in the lower right- hand corner of your screen and selecting Close. It may give you a warning, just press OK or Yes. Now close Net Admin and you’re ready to reboot the system so everything will take effect. The LoggerNet changes take effect almost immediately, but the extra settings in the RDE always require a reboot before they will take effect.

When your system comes back up, LoggerNet should automatically start (if you put it in the start up menu) and connect to the weather station. It may hang up a few times, but after five minutes or so it should connect and stay connected if the Keep Logger Online button has been selected in the extra RDE settings. Data is now available for message creation.
