Smart Logger

ICT International's SL5 Smart Logger uses state-of-the-art electronics and an operational concept not available in any other system.

For nontechnical users, the "plug and play" capability provides a simple but powerful user-friendly system.

For researchers, the Smart Logger provides all the in-built simplicity yet the ability to customise data collection criteria for specific projects.

Easy to use "plug and play" logging

The Smart Logger is designed to operate with ICT's range of "Smart Sensors" and offers true "plug and play" capability.

Every Smart Sensor has an integrated microprocessor with embedded software that contains the sensor’s custom profile. When it is connected to a Smart Logger and a search of the DataBus is initiated, the preset sensor profile is recognised by the logger and logging automatically commences at industry standard intervals.

Should the operator need to change the logging parameters, the embedded software program offers a full range of pre-programmed and user-defined options, with many available from single key strokes.

Sophisticated virtual sensors

The Smart Logger can automatically perform complex calculations and equations in real time by using data input from attached physical sensors. The results of these calculations or "virtual sensors" can be logged and viewed directly on the logger's LCD display.

Virtual sensors inside the Smart Logger include evapotranspiration (ET), dew-point for frost alarm, animal comfort stress index and battery voltage.

Communications and software

Windows HyperTerminal is used to access a simple menu system within the Smart Logger, providing the user with complete control over each individual sensor’s setup. HyperTerminal ensures compatibility between the logger and any IBM compatible PC using any version of Microsoft Windows operating systems from 3.11 to XP.

Standard access to the logger is achieved through direct RS232 communications. However, a number of remote communications options are available. These include a memory module or data shuttle, landline telephone modem, wireless GSM and CDMA modem, and unlicensed radio telemetry packages.
