Create a station manually
In order to manage several data loggers, to connect to a data logger via IP-call and to download data, stations can be created in the Commander software. To view a list of all stations select the tab Stations (F7).
Perform the following steps to create a new station:
- In the tab-menu Stations (F7) click New station.
- Under Station settings enter the Station number and Sommer ID. By default both settings are set to the device’s serial number (visible on the MRL‑8E housing).
- Select the Connections used for the station. Multiple selections are possible; the default connection can be selected by ticking the circular field.
- Depending on the connection type, enter the additional information, e.g. Address for a Bluetooth connection or IMSI number for an IP call.
- Enter the settings for Data management.When data are downloaded from a connected MRL‑8E they are stored in an archive-file by default. Each archive-file contains the data of a year or month, as selected in Archive type. Selection None will save all data in one file.The default location for data files is C:\Users\Public\Documents\Sommer\Data\.
- Save the newly created station with the button Save station.
