Data Loading in Live

Some EQuIS Live agents automatically create the necessary loggers and series (e.g., when loading data from files using the Live File Processor, or adding devices using the Adcon Device Browser widget). However, sometimes it may be necessary for the user to manually create loggers and series.

Note: A ‘logger’ is the physical data logger. A ‘logger series’ refers to the measurement parameters (e.g., air pressure or temperature).
