9 - Configuring the Logger to use the Remote Control API

The following variables and commands should be added to the Logger configuration file (lgrConfig.xml).

Each Logger must have a unique remote control ID. The connect and heartbeat send intervals can be adjusted if necessary. Set the defaultTapeDir to the directory where Logger files are stored. The Logger’s execution or working directory will be used in conjunction with the default file directory if a relative path is specified.
