Using the Raven II CDPD Modem – Canary Systems Application Note #12 – March 2002 – Page 6 of 8 

MultiLogger Configuration 

 

Configuration of MultiLogger is straightforward, the Network Configuration needs to be updated to include 
the COM port, in our case 

COM5

, a 

Phone Modem

 and the 

Control Module

 connected to the Raven II 

Modem. All the defaults should work fine, except the 

Extra Response Time

 for the Control Module, this 

could be set to 

5000

 to allow for delays that are common when using the Raven II. 

 
The IP of the Raven II Modem must be entered in the 

Dialed Using Phone Number

 edit of the Control 

Module edits, an example of the setup is shown below. 
 

 

 
To access the Logger functions simply left double-click on the Control Module, CR10X1, in the Network 
Configuration. The Logger functions, 

Start/Update

Collect

Monitor

, etc. are activated by clicking the 

toolbar button on the Logger form. 
 

Important Operation Notes! 

 

 

The 

Start/Update

 function is NOT recommended for use with the Raven II Modem, this function 

demands a higher quality connection than the 

Collect

 and 

Monitor

 functions, the Raven II 

Modem connection will often be challenged to provide this. Version 2.1 and higher of MultiLogger 
provide a more reliable 

Start/Update

 function by reducing the size of the program file to be 

downloaded. Contact Canary Systems or your software vendor to obtain updates to the 
MultiLogger software. 

 

 

If the communication with the data acquisition unit fails you will usually need to wait 2 minutes 
before attempting further communication functions. This is due to the timeout settings of the 
TCP/IP connection.
