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.

Detailed 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.

Additional Compatibility Information
Software
RTMC Run-Time and 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.
Computer
RTMC Pro runs on Windows 10 and 11. RTMC Pro runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these operating systems.

-
This can be done by comparing the last time stamp of the value with the current system time within an IIF() function.
-
This information cannot be changed.
-
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.
-
RTMC is a client to the LoggerNet server. This means that it does not directly interact with the data loggers. Rather, RTMC gets data from the LoggerNet data cache or from collected data files (for example, *.dat). If the RTMC project is pointed to a variable in the Public table, Scheduled Data Collection must be enabled for the Public table in LoggerNet. The timing of Scheduled Data Collection dictates the frequency at which new data are available for RTMC to display.
-
The Last() function can be used to compare the current value of a variable with the last value that was loaded. To have the graphic display in a graph, create two separate traces that use an expression similar to the following:
alias("ln:cr1000.one_hour.temp_degf", temp); IIF(Last(temp) > temp, temp, NOPLOT)
This expression produces a point if the value is increasing; otherwise, it produces a NAN value, which is ignored by the plot. Specify a trace with the down arrow symbol and a different comparison to plot decreasing values.
This is easier if all that needs to be shown is the current state of the value compared to the previous. To do this, use an alarm that specifies up arrows and down arrows for the images associated with the on and off states.
-
The table component of RTMC Pro has the option to display the newest data at the top of the table. It can then be set up to save images of that table component or the entire screen (for use in an HTML page), or the RTMC Pro project itself can be run in the RTMC Web Server.
Using RTMC Pro Dev, select the New Data At Top table option property.
-
The report intervals are open-closed. If a three-hour chart with hourly data is shown, whether three or four points are shown depends on the interval. On an open-closed interval, only three points are shown—one for each hour. On a closed-closed interval, there are four points, but the first point actually represents data outside the three-hour interval. RTMC Pro was designed to use open-closed intervals.
-
One of the features of RTMC Pro is the ability to embed hotspots inside the project. These hotspots can be embedded with an HTML link within the project and allow the project to specify the value of the href attribute. For example, something similar to the following could be specified for the link attribute:
javascript:alert("This measurement is helpful for eddy covariance.")
If the user clicked on that hotspot, the browser would then show the content in an alert dialog.
