Point Orange 3G¶

Source configuration¶

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

2. Select Upload 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 the timezone of the logger’s clock and click Next.

3. 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).

4. 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 change the default time format for the Record Time column. Click the configure button above the column and change the Format field to use the time format YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:ss. Click Apply and Next.

5. Click next to proceed to parameter assignment.

6. 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.
