Push data from LoggerNet data cache to relational databases
Overview
Current Version: 2.0
LNDB/U is an upgrade to the latest version of our LoggerNet DB (LNDB) software. You must have an earlier version of LNDB to qualify for the upgrade.
LoggerNet DB (LNDB) is ideally suited for transitioning data from LoggerNet’s data cache to a relational database of your choice. Publishing user-selected LoggerNet collected data to these relational databases enables data administrators to share their data with a large customer base across various platforms and methods. Those platforms could include custom websites (including those developed with RTMC and CSIWEBS), custom data reporting systems, data warehousing, and customer software (web and desktop) applications. This application is for data network administrators that want to push their valuable LoggerNet data into relational databases and have that data published in real time (as often as the data is collected).
The low-cost LNDB software is simple to set up and administer and gives you the flexibility you need for your organization. Most users can have the software installed and LoggerNet data uploading to their relational database in less than 20 minutes' time (assuming the database and LoggerNet are set up and proper credentials are issued to the data manager). After setup, LNDB runs as a service on Windows and continues to reliably push LoggerNet data to the relational database, allowing you to focus your time and energy on other projects.

Not at the same time. Currently, a user would have to manually switch back and forth between the database hosts periodically using the File menu Select Database... option to keep them both updated.
-
No. The purchased version is separate from the trial version. Uninstall the trial version, and install the purchased version.
-
Check C:\\Campbellsci\\LNDB\\logs.
-
LNDB uses two fields as primary keys: the record number and time stamp. If the record number and time stamp are both duplicated, the record is discarded. If only the record number or only the time stamp is duplicated, LNDB should import the record.
-
The LNDB service runs under a local system account by default, which may be why it uses the computer name. Go to Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services and set it to run under a user name.
-
One method is to use Custom Collect to specify a range of data and then store the data to a different file. Alternatively, if LNDB is set up to store data in a database, a range of data can be pulled out and stored in a separate data file. These two methods, however, are manual ones.
-
Yes, as part of the SDK—the CSIDataSource control.
-
No. It can only be changed using the Login to LoggerNet Server dialog box. The Login to LoggerNet Server dialog box opens automatically after LNDB is installed. It can also be opened at any time from the File | Select LoggerNet Server menu item or by double-clicking the LN Connection Status Label on the Status Bar.
-
There are two main components of the LNDB application:
- LNDB Manager – An application used to set up a database and select the datalogger data tables that are stored in the database. It also provides tools to monitor the LNDB Engine and review the database data.
- LNDB Engine – Runs as a service and sends the selected data from the LoggerNet data cache to the database.
-
The LoggerNet default port number is 6789. If a command line argument has been used to change the LoggerNet default port number, this alternate port number must be open.
Note: The alternate port number must be specified in the Login to LoggerNet Server dialog box when entering the Server Address (for example, 192.168.7.123:6700).
