Campbell Scientific Station

Campbell Scientific provides LoggerNet as the primary method for retrieving data from Campbell dataloggers. If your organization has a LoggerNet server with LDMP activated, you can connect it here. We can also host LDMP or LoggerNet for you (license key required). Contact us for more information.

This is a station-level integration. It needs an organization Campbell Scientific LDMP integration that connects to the LDMP server. You can create that connection in the same wizard. The same LDMP connection can be used to pull data from multiple stations.

Tip

Finish the station first, including the Station Readiness Checklist. See Set Up a Station.

Settings

Setting	Required	What you set
LDMP integration	Yes	Organization connection to the LoggerNet server. Needs an IP address and port (e.g. 120.0.121.1:3167). You name the LoggerNet server when you create it.
Station name	Yes	Name listed in LoggerNet. Match it exactly, including capitalization (e.g. SantaCruzIsland).
Table names	Yes	One or more LoggerNet table names to subscribe to. Each name must match the table on the datalogger exactly.
Backfill days	No	How far back to pull history on first connect.
Time adjust seconds	No	Seconds to add so the time becomes UTC (e.g. 3600 for +1 hour). Dendra stores all times in UTC.

Steps

1. Create the station in Dendra if you have not already. Work through the Station Readiness Checklist: the station is enabled, it has a deployment, and the site is enabled with a geolocation.

2. Go to Tools > Data Setup > Configure Integrations. See Configure Integrations.

3. Click the blue + New button.

4. This is an inbound integration. Select Campbell Scientific Station from Integration Type. Hit Next.

5. Select your station. Hit Next.

6. Fill Settings. If you do not have an LDMP connection yet, create one (address, port, and a name for the LoggerNet server). Enter Station name and Table names. Hit Save.

7. Dendra starts pulling from LoggerNet. Open Tools > Monitoring > Integrations, select the LDMP connection (the pipeline lives there), and confirm the activity log looks healthy. See Monitor Integrations.

   To see tables next, set the LDMP connection to Live and Enabled, and this station config to Enabled with Use Parent or Live.

8. Go to Tools > Data Setup > Configure Datastreams. Select your station and confirm time zone. Select Use Existing Tables. Tables appear on the left, prefixed by the station name.

   Note

   If you do not see the tables, click Not seeing a table you expect? Click here to re-run table discovery.

9. Continue with Configure Datastreams.
