2. Current Data Logger Products
iRIS350 FX – IP rated, telemetered, including integral solar regulator.
iRIS150 FX – IP Rated non-telemetered data logger, optional 1 year operation on internal battery.
iCE3 FX – telemetry add-on for non-telemeted devices (HyQuest, Campbell, Unidata, etc), with additional data logging function.
Solutions
iRIS150 FX + iCE3 – combinations of functions of both products, providing a cost effective alternative to the iRIS350 FX
iBox – turn key solution containing iRIS150 FX + iCE3 FX combination, solar charger, mains charger, battery and optional solar panel

3. Introduction to the New Data Logger
Motivations
Maintain existing features of the HyQuest data logging products, with a view to replace some or all of the exiting data logger product range with a single expandable logger
Adding features such as:
Wireless communication for local configuration
Secure Digital Card
Optional second telemetry path
Dedicated sensor RS232/RS485 port
Migrate from 8bit to 32 bit ARM Cortex processor, providing more resources and lower power consumption
Produce a variant that makes a rain gauge into a smart data logging sensor.
