Figure 4.5 User Details
Figure 4.6 General Screen Layout
If the main screen does not appear then there is a
problem connecting to the Net-Log. Check that the IP
Address entered in the device editor list is the same as the
one downloaded using the Net-Log-Win Serial Utility.
Secondly, check that the IP Address and Subnet Mask are
valid for your network. If invalid details are entered, the
Net-Log will not appear on your network (see your system
administrator for more information).
First Time Use of Net-Log
For a brief step by step guide to first time use please refer
to Appendix A. Following this procedure the first time you
use the Net-Log you will need to setup the configuration
for your particular application. The configuration is
accessible from the Options tab. See Chapter 9 for full
details. At the very minimum you will need to set up the
Record Format, Record Media and Clock Source options.
Changing User Details
Once you have logged in for the first time it is advised
that you change your User name and Password from the
default settings to stop unauthorised access to your user
account. To do this, select the Edit menu, and then User
Details (
Figure 4.5
). Enter your new details and press
“OK”. If the “Cancel” button is pressed, none of the
changes made will take effect.
Note that the password is case sensitive, and you must re-
enter the password to confirm it is correct.
There is a special case available to demonstrate just the
screen layout and use of the Net-Log-Win software that
can be initiated by selecting a user name of
demo
and
leaving the passwords blank.
General Screen Layout
After logging in, the main screen appears (
Figure 4.6
).
Whether all of the 4 main selection screens (Record,
Archive, Play and Options) are displayed will vary
depending on the user account that you have logged in
with. However, the screen layout will remain the same
throughout.
1. Disconnect/Log-Off
Button
If you are currently connected to a Net-Log then this
button allows you to disconnect and select a different unit.
If you are not currently connected to a Net-Log, this
allows you to log off and either log on as another user, or
exit the application. Note that logging off, or
disconnecting, from the Net-Log will not affect the
operation of the Net-Log, i.e. it won’t stop it recording,
etc.
2. Net-Log
Selector
Use this to select other Net-Logs from the drop-down list
and connect to them as the user that you are currently
logged on as.
3. Alarm
Indicators
These replicate the LED alarms situated on the front panel
of the Net-Log. The alarm conditions are also available on
the remote connector.
4. Network Activity Indicators
These are transmit Tx (left, red) and receive Rx (right,
green) indicators showing data transfer between the Net-
log and your client PC.
