LINORTEK DATA COLLECTOR APP User Manual
The Data Collector desktop app can listen for UDP broadcasts from our hour meter devices. It can record and log this data into a .csv file.
Alternatively, you can also set it to manually collect data. This is useful for port forwarded network hour meters as it can go out to the internet and read data off the device’s XML pages. It can also collect data from the Wifi mini both via REST or subscribe to an MQTT broker.
