Data Logger for Environmental Monitoring Stations and Networks

Jörg Kilgus, June 2012

Basic Job Definition

The airQlog is a 19“ data logger and data management system, that adds service and support tools to an easy configurable data ackquisition device.

Outstanding Features

• Nice and useful design for both Monitoring station and laboratory

• Self-monitoring hardware and software platform, shared with other recordum solutions

• Bi-directional communications with central network management systems

• Easy configuration of instruments and sensors, big number of preconfigured instrument drivers

• Direct access to the user interface over Internet and web browser (no special software required)

The Design

Plain front with power switch.

Connector front – also with power switch.

and more…

The User InterfaceShow measurement data in one graph

Select from one to six parameters

Make general settings to the graph

The User InterfaceMake advanced settings to your graph

Select from four different types – line, filled line, steps and bar

Adjust the color of the lines

Configure every parameter individually

The User InterfaceZoom into graphs to get details of events

Crosshairs show measurement values in the graph with timestamp
