TrendReader software package for ACR data logging incorporates many standard features like; simple logger set-up, easy integration of data collected, graphing and real time viewing.

TrendReader software package for ACR data logging products available in the UK from jdl company is constantly being expanded.

Updates for existing users can be downloaded from the manufacturers web site free of charge.

Incorporating many standard features like; simple logger set-up, easy integration of data collected, graphing, real time viewing, one-touch table view, graphing, annotation of salient points to be noted, TrendReader now offers new add-on modules.

* Alarm dial out - in the hardware-based systems, the alarm signal comes from the SmartReader Plus 12-bit data logger's Alarm Dial Out feature.

The SRP data logger is capable of being connected via its communication jack to a modem and programmed with a pager number to dial if an alarm condition exists.

* Alarm module - this connects to the SRP data logger's communication jack.

It is designed to accept the Alarm Dial Out signal from the data logger and produce an audible alarm and flashing light as well as trip an internal relay, which can be used to enable or energise an external circuit (2 amps max) such as a siren, light or some other device.

* Real time monitor software - this generates alarms based on the real time readings it sees independent of the Alarm Dial Out feature in the SRP logger.

The software enables the user to have alarms generated by any ACR unit purely based on the real time readings produced from the loggers.

The alarms are purely software related and require the loggers to be connected to the computer and running in real time.

When an alarm condition is encountered, the Real Time Monitor software can display the condition on the computer screen, beep, play a wave file or invoke an external programme to start running.

(The external programme is to be supplied or written by the user.

) * TalkBack software - this automatically downloads logged information and responds to alarms when using the 12-bit SRP series loggers.

The ACR TalkBack programme can humidity, electric current, pressure, process signals, pulse frequency, power quality and more accept a call from the SRP logger in this mode if it is running on a computer and the Alarm Dial Out on the SRP logger is set to call the computer modem (or is directly connected to the computer com port).

The TalkBack software can display the condition on the computer screen (flash message), beep, play a wave file or invoke an external programme to start running.

(The external programme is to be supplied or written by the user.

It is not ACR generated software.

* Real Time Graphing as the data logger records information - networking and Remote Communications, facilities exist for communication with single or multiple data loggers over a modem.

Easy and user intuitive facilities make for easy data logging using the ACR range of self-powered, palm-sized instruments that can measure and record temperature, relative.
