Frequently Asked Questions: Baler
What is the current shipping version of Baler?
The current version of Baler can be found by viewing the Baler patch information on the Campbell Scientific website at http://www.campbellsci.com/25/1/1.Is there an upgrade to get to the current version of Baler? If so, where can I get it?
The current version of Baler can be found by viewing the Baler patch on the Campbell Scientific website at http://www.campbellsci.com/25/1/1. Note that Baler version 2.2 is required to be installed on your computer for this upgrade to work.We just upgraded to Loggernet 3.3 to provide support for a CR800. Unfortunately, Baler 2.2 didn't recognize the CR800 in the station list. Do we need to upgrade a more recent version of Baler?
Baler 2.2 was developed prior to the release of the CR800 and therefore does not support it. The latest version of Baler, does support the CR800. There is a patch on the Campbell Scientific website (http://www.campbellsci.com/25/1/1) to upgrade to the current version of Baler.
Note: As newer versions of Baler are released, upgrades to older versions may not work. The notes associated with the upgrade or patch will indicate what prior version is required to be installed prior to installing the upgrade.In what format does the Baler Client Software save the data, and does the user have the option to choose? I need a way to extract data from the data logger into a comma-delimited file so I can import it into a SQL database.
Baler does have file format options for storing the data. These are TOACI1 (table to ASCII 1 format), TOA5 (table to ASCII 5 format), TOB1 (table to binary format), or CSV (comma separated values).TOACI1 example:
