The
Aquamet 3500 is a fully integrated, easy-to-use computer
based weather station for monitoring and reporting all the
weather conditions you need to watch, including:
- Wind Speed
- Wind Direction
- Air Temperature (with sun shield)
- Barometric Pressure
- Humidity
- Solar Radiation
- Precipitation
Starting with the Aqualog 3100 Data Collection Platform
(DCP), which is a durable, powerful data logging and
recording unit enclosed in a sturdy weather-proof NEMA 4X
case, the Aquamet 3500 offers state-of-the art technology
for continuous logging, storing, retrieving and integral
LCD display of weather information. The standard Aqualog
3100 using the CR-10X analog input has 12 channels (0-5
VDC or 4-20 ma output) and 2 counter channels.
Weather data can be easily accessed either through a
real-time report or through a log of historical data. You
can also collect and save the highs, lows and averages.
With the built-in clock and calendar you have continuous
automatic time/date information and all the data you
collect can easily be transferred to a disk file for
future analysis and storage, and imported into any
standard spreadsheet program.
Programmability
The Aquamet 3500 with Aqualog 3100 DCP is easily
programmed with the menu driven software. Program features
include downloading time and date to the logger,
specifying which channels to record; warm-up time; and
recording interval. In addition, max, min and average can
be recorded, and sensors can also be set up to read in any
engineering unit. Advanced features include: setting the
"zero" and "span" for each sensor and providing curve
fitting for linearizing sensors or for calculating flow
automatically from depth data. True exponential
datalogging is also provided.
Software
The Aquamet 3500 software provides you with a powerful
tool for communicating with the logger, using a friendly
menu driven/multiple choice format. You can download set
up parameters, including site number and name. You can
also observe all sensors in real-time, in engineering
units on the Monitor mode. In addition, you can collect
stored data and produce tabular and graphical reports, and
you can transfer files to all common spreadsheets and
databases, including Lotus 1-2-3, Excel or Dbase. This
software is easy to learn and easy to use. A complete
manual is provided.
Telemetry Option
The Aquamet 3500 is fully compatible with telemetry for
collecting data remotely via telephone, cellular
telephone, VHF/VMF radio for alert stations or GOES
satellite.
