CellVisor¶

The E State Automation CellVisor range of data loggers can be configured to send data to eagle.io in a few easy steps.

Source configuration¶

Create a Data Source and select File as the Source Type. Choose Delimited Text from the list and click Next.

Select Upload data to ftp.eagle.io as the transport type. A unique Ftp user account will be automatically generated per Data Source. You can optionally specify a password to be used by the logger for additional security. Select UTC as the Timezone and click Next.

Specify csv as the File name match. This will match all incoming files for this Source containing ‘csv’ in the filename. To continue the setup you will need a sample copy of the logger’s output data file(s).

Note

If you do not have a sample available, click the Skip checkbox and click finish on the next screen. A sample will be saved automatically on the initial upload from the data logger and you will need to open the Data Source properties dialog and configure the series to create parameters.

The Parser configuration screen allows the user to describe the structure and format of the data file so it can be correctly interpretted by the system in subsequent uploads. Refer to Text Parser Configuration for full details.

If the file contains a header row, set the Labels row control to the corresponding row number which will assign default labels for parameter creation.

Ensure the data in each column matches the expected column data type and format. Validation errors are shown in red. Any columns not required for collection can optionally be Disabled.

You will need to use the drop-down menu above the columns to assign the Record Time data type to the first column containing part of the record timestamp. Click the configure button to change the Format field to use the time format YYYY-MM-DD.

The record timestamp spans multiple columns by default. Add any additional columns containing part of the timestamp and specify the format. By default you will need to add the UTCTime column to the list of Joins and change the Format field to use the time format HH:mm:ss. Click Apply and Next.

Specify the parameter names (and optionally units) for each series/column defined in the Parser configuration. Uncheck any series you do not want to create as parameters. Click Finish to complete the setup.

Note

You can reconfigure the file name match/sample file, parser configuration and parameter assignment from the Data Source properties dialog after creation.

Device settings¶

Use the CellVisor software to configure the logger for communication with eagle.io. Refer to your CellVisor user manual for connection instructions.

The following Server settings should be assigned:

Primary IP: ftp.eagle.io/
Pri. Port: 21
User Name: Use the unique FTP user generated during Data Source creation.
Password: Use the password you assigned during Data Source creation (or leave blank for none).

Note

Use the Events view with the detail level set to Debug for reviewing communication history and diagnosing configuration issues.
