Automating the Host Transfer of Logged Data

There are two ways to use a host computer to retrieve logged data from a SIXNET station. One is to run the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit program and select one of the datalog record-reading functions from the Operations menu. The other way is to specify a Sixlog transfer command from within a Windows application such as:

• User programs written in C, Visual Basic etc..

• The "Run" command in Windows and other applications

• Batch files

• Other applications capable of running Windows commands

Sixlog (Sxlogview.exe) command line options are used to specify the transfer characteristics. The command line options are fully documented in the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit help system.

Example Sxlogview command line:

sxlogview.exe my_proj.6pj -TRA="transfer event name"
