Technical Description
LoggerNet Admin, a more advanced software package than the standard LoggerNet, has tools that are useful for those with large datalogger networks. It provides all the functionality of LoggerNet including the ability to program the datalogger, collect data, monitor and troubleshoot the network, manage the dataloggers in your network, create graphical data displays that update when data is collected, create automated tasks, and view or post-process the data (see LoggerNet).
LoggerNet Admin also provides the ability to enable security, manage the server from a remote PC, run LoggerNet as a Windows® service, export data to third party applications, and launch multiple instances of the same client (for instance, opening two Connect windows to communicate simultaneously with two different dataloggers in the same or a different network).

LoggerNet Patch v.4.8 (399 MB) 26-03-2024
This patch will upgrade LoggerNet, LoggerNet Remote or LoggerNet Admin version 4.0 and newer to 4.8. A version of LoggerNet 4.x must be installed on the computer.
Note: This patch includes RTMC Run-time and the RTMC Standard Development v5.0.1. If you are using RTMC Pro 4.3.3 or older or CSI Web Server 1.6 or older and plan to continue creating RTMC projects, we recommend that you opt out on updating RTMC during the install or upgrade to RTMC Pro 5.0.
LoggerNet Admin and Remote:
A change was made in the way the LoggerNet 4.6 Server performs "Custom Data Collection". A corresponding change was made in the Connect Screen 4.6 client "Custom Data Collection" functionality.
If you require "Custom Data Collection" functionality with the Connect Screen client, assure that the LoggerNet Servers and Connect Screen clients are 4.6 or higher.
This application requires the Microsoft .Net 4.6.2 Framework. If it is not already installed on your computer, it can be obtained from the Microsoft Download Center.
Supported Operating Systems: (32 and 64 bit) Windows 11 or 10.

There are several approaches you can try:
- The LNDB Interface can pull data from LoggerNet and insert it into a database instance. Supported database platforms are as follows: Microsoft SQL; MySQL; unofficially, MariaDB as it is open source MySQL, PostGRESQL, and Oracle. The database table structure and metadata will match the structure of the station’s program and the station name used in LoggerNet exactly. You cannot customize the structure. Refer to the setup documentation.
- Read or parse data from LoggerNet .dat files. The files are CSV formatted and can be parsed in using most any programming language. Files by default are stored on the LoggerNet computer in the following path: C:\Campbellsci\LoggerNet.
- LDMP Server, a LoggerNet Admin component, offers a listening socket for data to be pulled directly from the LoggerNet cache over the LoggerNet Service listening port 6789. Complete documentation in LoggerNet Admin is stored in the following path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Campbellsci\LoggerNet\ldmp_server2.pdf.
- Read in data using the CSI web server’s built in Web API. The webAPI accepts queries in the same format as the data logger’s built-in webAPI. Refer to the data logger webAPI documentation.
- The LNDB Interface can pull data from LoggerNet and insert it into a database instance. Supported database platforms are as follows: Microsoft SQL; MySQL; unofficially, MariaDB as it is open source MySQL, PostGRESQL, and Oracle. The database table structure and metadata will match the structure of the station’s program and the station name used in LoggerNet exactly. You cannot customize the structure. Refer to the setup documentation.
-
When LoggerNet Admin is set up, the user is asked to enter a user name. The user can enter something that is recognizable by a corporate network.
-
Yes. The patch should update the install to version 4.1 Admin, as long as the previous installation was installed as Admin with the correct license key.
-
LoggerNet doesn’t know which tables are available in mixed-array data loggers unless the program is identified by associating it. If no tables show up in the Data Filer table selection window, check that there is a program associated with the data logger in LoggerNet. This can be done on the Program tab of the LoggerNet Setup screen. Also, verify these two things:
- Scheduled collection is enabled (on the Schedule tab of the LoggerNet Setup screen).
- FS Area 1 is enabled (and FS Area2 if memory is being specifically allocated to it) for collection. This information is found on the respective tabs in the LoggerNet Setup Screen.
-
No. LoggerNet Admin is installed on a single computer. To run clients or remote portions on another PC, it is necessary to purchase an additional LoggerNet Admin or LoggerNet Remote license.
-
To upgrade from LoggerNet to LoggerNet Admin, the correct upgrade path is to order the LoggerNet Admin Upgrade (LOGGERNETADM/U), which allows one copy of LoggerNet or LoggerNet Admin to be upgraded to the current version of LoggerNet Admin.
-
All data and settings should remain following the upgrade from LoggerNet to LoggerNet Admin. The file formats and locations are exactly the same between the two products. No information in the configuration should be lost or reset.
-
The server/client architecture of LoggerNet allows for multiple clients to access the LoggerNet server.
-
There is a free trial version of LoggerNet, but there is not one for LoggerNet Admin.
-
LoggerNet Admin contains all of the capabilities of LoggerNet Remote. Additional copies of LoggerNet Remote are purchased separately. Because using different versions of LoggerNet and LoggerNet Remote can result in issues, Campbell Scientific recommends purchasing the LoggerNet Admin Upgrade.
