Original Press Release:
Data Logging Digital Panel Meters, Counters and Transmitters
Costa Mesa, CA - Laurel Electronics, Inc. announces Data Logging Software which can turn a PC connected to up to 32 digital panel meters, counters, timers and DIN rail transmitters into a data logging system with distributed displays. Virtual meters on the computer screen can show readings and alarm indications of actual meters or transmitters, or mathematical combinations of readings. Data can be saved in an ASCII file and be imported into MS Excel for graphing and analysis.
With an RS485 line, up to 32 Laureate meters and transmitters can be connected to a PC in addressable multidrop fashion. With an RS232 line, a single device can be connected directly to the COM port of a PC operating under MS Windows.
Received data can be displayed on the computer screen in the form of up to 64 virtual panel meters in 4 groups of up to 16 meters each. These virtual meters can show the readings and alarm indications of selected actual meters or transmitters, or show values other than those normally displayed by meters, such as peak value.
A virtual meter can also show calculated parameters or weighted averages that combine data from multiple meters. For example, a virtual meter can display watts, obtained by multiplying the current reading from one meter and the voltage reading from another meter. Available operands are multiply, divide, add, and subtract, with parentheses to allow complex expressions.
A virtual meter can also totalize analog readings over time, for example to display kilowatt-hours from watts, or totalized volume from flow rate. The on-screen position and appearance of individual meters is user selectable to achieve meaningful groupings.
Data can be logged from selected meters or transmitters into an ASCII file, which can then be imported into MS Excel or other program for graphing and analysis. User settable parameters include the logging time interval in seconds, the separator character (normally a comma), and header data (with or without time and date). Data files can be password protected.
The price of Laureate Data Logging Software is $150. The software can be downloaded and will operated in a free demo mode at no charge.
