Select the required Retrieval Mode for the application. The use of the “Follow
Scheduled Data Collection” option will use the scheduled configuration in the
Schedule Tab. If the “New Schedule” option is selected, you will need to configure
the Base Date and Time, and Retrieval Interval parameters.
It is possible to configure the File Retrieval to delete files once retrieved from the
datalogger. If datalogger memory capacity is a concern, it is recommended to use
this feature.
To add a file retrieval process, start by clicking “Add New” under File Pattern.
Once added, the Edit File Pattern, Output Directory, and Max Files parameter
become available to fill out. Each File Pattern added will need to be individually
configured.
Under the Edit File Pattern parameter you must select from the directory location
options, in order to specify the image or video to be retrieved. By default, the jpg
and avi names are a wild card (*), which means all jpg or avi files in the specified
directory will be retrieved. If you have used specific filenames in the camera
configuration, you are able to specify these names in the File Edit Pattern
parameter. It is possible to configure multiple File Patterns to collect images or
video on different schedules or from multiple directories.
If your version of LoggerNet File Retrieval does not list the avi files
as an option under File Edit Pattern, you are able to force the filename
and format.
The default Output Directory is C:\Campbellsci\LoggerNet. If required, you are
able to change this by browsing to the preferred location. The Max Files parameter
specifies the maximum number of files that can be retrieved during each scheduled
event. The newest files will be retrieved.
When the Force Retrieval box is selected, a file that matches the file pattern will be
retrieved regardless of the file’s timestamp or whether the file has already been
retrieved. When the Record If Skipped box is selected, the names and dates of any
files that are not retrieved because of the Max Files parameter will be recorded and
