Display your data; control your data logger
Overview
RTMC Pro is used to create and run graphical screens that provide real-time monitor and control capabilities. You can easily design displays using its large library of components including alarms, switches, status bars, charts, and gauges. Simply select a component, place it on the workspace, and specify the data value to be displayed. Each component has properties that can be set by the user giving maximum design control.
This separately purchased product is an enhanced version of the RTMC client that is included with LoggerNet, LoggerNetAdmin, and RTDAQ.

- Large library of components: alarms, switches, status bars, charts, gages, and more
- Interactive components (switches, drop lists, digital set points, dials) let you toggle flags or set data logger values directly from your RTMC display
- Securely monitor and control your data from virtually anywhere by publishing your RTMC projects to your intranet or the Internet using the included Web Publisher and CSI Web Server
- View data from multiple LoggerNet servers, Campbell Scientific data files, LNDB databases, HTTP data loggers, and virtual data sources all in one RTMC project
- Send email messages or execute programs when alarms are triggered
- Create reports that allow you to easily step through historical data and export an RTMC screen either on a schedule or manually
- Use the extensive math and logic expression library to convert and/or combine your data for display
Technical Description
RTMC Pro, an enhanced version of RTMC, includes a development and a run-time program. Specifically, RTMC Pro provides the following:
- The ability to use LNDB databases, Campbell Scientific data files, HTTP data loggers, virtual data sources, and multiple LoggerNet Servers as data sources
- The CSI Web Server for viewing your data from a web browser
- The ability to generate reports
- More graphical components. For example, more alarms, switches, graphs, gauges, and layout components are available
- Components to run/open a file, run a Cora-Script command (LoggerNet command), or view a web page.
- Images of the project that can be saved and transferred to a web server automatically
- The ability to send email messages or execute programs when alarms occur. Alarm activity can be logged to a file
- More settings for components existing in both RTMC and RTMC Pro, which enables more design control
RTMC Run-Time and the CSI Web Server can run projects created with RTMC Pro's development program. For best compatibility between RTMC or RTMC Pro projects and RTMC Run-Time, the version numbers of the applications should match.
- Projects created with a newer version of RTMC or RTMC Pro will not run in an older version of RTMC Run-Time. As an example, a project created with RTMC Pro 5.0 will not run in RTMC Run-Time 4.0.
- Projects created with an older version of RTMC or RTMC Pro will open and run, but component size or placement may not match the original project, requiring the project to be edited.
An upgrade for RTMC Pro must be purchased separately if you have these earlier versions of RTMC Pro.

-
Yes. RTMC Pro includes options to export entire screens or specific objects. These images can then be incorporated into a separate web page.
-
RTMC Pro only works with email-type alarms. However, many cellular service providers offer email-to-text-message gateways that allow users to send an email message and have it received as a text message on a cellular phone.
-
Yes. Use the StartRelativeToNewest function as a prefix to the averaging expression to specify how far back to go in the data when the project is first started.
-
Shape rotation does not currently work in RTMC Pro. There is a work around, however. Save the shape as an image from the shape property page using the disc icon at the bottom right of the screen. Then load the saved image into an image component that has rotation capabilities.
-
RTMC Pro has an Invert Axis property for all axes on a chart. By inverting the bottom axis, the most recent data, along with its time stamp, is displayed on the left with the oldest on the right.
-
The snapshots are generated in either instance—whether starting the project from RTMC Developer or RTMC Run-Time.
-
By default, all LoggerNet clients, including RTMC Pro, use port 6789 to communicate with the LoggerNet server.
-
This can be done by comparing the last time stamp of the value with the current system time within an IIF() function.
-
Consider using IIF(). Here is an example of using the last value instead of the -6999 in a min run over a day with temp avg:
Alias(X, "Server:CR1000.HOUR.Temp_F_Avg"); StartRelativeToNewest (nsecPerDay, OrderCollected ); MinRunOverTime(IIF(X = -6999, last(X), X), Timestamp(X), nsecPerDay)
-
The CSI Web Server can only be configured to be a stand-alone web server. RTMC Run-Time does have the ability to periodically generate web pages from the project and to transfer these files to an FTP server. To use the interactivity that is possible with the CSI Web Server, use iframes in web pages that can reference pages served by the CSI Web Server.
