Original Press Release:



New Series of Virtual Chart Recorders(TM) Serve Web Pages



At SEMICON West, NEWPORT introduced a new series of four "Virtual Chart Recorders".

With these new instruments from NEWPORT, users can view virtual charts and record Temperature, Relative Humidity, Dew Point, and Barometric Pressure over an Ethernet network or the Internet with no special software-just a Web browser.

The NEWPORT environmental monitors provide Web-based remote surveillance of environmental conditions in critical applications such as clean rooms, laboratories, computer server rooms, warehouses, or any remote facility. The dual thermocouple virtual recorder monitors critical equipment and processes.

These new devices can trigger an alarm if a reading goes above or below a set point that the user determines. The alarms can be sent by email to a single user or to a group distribution list, including text messages to cell phones and PDA's.

All of these new virtual recorders come complete with a removable 2 GB SD Flash Memory card that can store up to seven years of readings taken at ten second intervals. The SD (Secure Digital) flash cards are widely available, as is the 9 volt backup battery. The data format is a simple text file that is easily imported to spread sheets and other programs. The SD card can be read directly on a PC or MAC with a USB card reader. You can also download the data remotely over an Ethernet network or the Internet.

NEWPORT Electronics, Inc. began manufacturing instrumentation in 1965 and quickly earned a reputation for designing and building the world's most accurate industrial meters and controllers.

NEWPORT instruments are designed and manufactured in Santa Ana, California, U.S.A.
