Display your data; control your data logger
Overview
Current Version: 5.0
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 7, 8, 10, and 11. RTMC Pro runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these operating systems.

-
SystemTime returns the current computer time. Timestamp returns the time stamp for an associated record.
-
The report range is selected by using the forward and back arrows.
-
RTMC Pro comes with a web server and a publish-to-web function to publish whole sets of graphs to the web. RTMC Pro also enables the output of snapshots (images) that can be used in user-created web pages.
-
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 snapshots are generated in either instance—whether starting the project from RTMC Developer or RTMC Run-Time.
-
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.
-
Yes. Use the StartRelativeToNewest function as a prefix to the averaging expression to specify how far back to go in the data when the project is first started.
-
In RTMC Pro, there is a workspace option to auto-size in runtime. This fills up the window and sizes the content as needed. This option is very useful when developing projects to be run on more than one display.
-
With the project open in the designer screen, click the project menu item and Configure Snapshot & FTP. Files can be written to whichever local drive is desired or transferred via FTP.
-
The 3.1 patch is an upgrade for version 3.0.
Campbell Scientific offers upgrades within a major version number as downloads from the website, but an upgrade outside of a major version number requires the purchase of RTMCPRO/U.
