1. Data Logger for Environmental Monitoring Stations and Networks
Jörg Kilgus, June 2012

2. Basic Job Definition
The airQlog is a 19“ data logger and data management system, that adds service and support tools to an easy configurable data ackquisition device.

3. Outstanding Features
Nice and useful design for both Monitoring station and laboratory
Self-monitoring hardware and software platform, shared with other recordum solutions
Bi-directional communications with central network management systems
Easy configuration of instruments and sensors, big number of preconfigured instrument drivers
Direct access to the user interface over Internet and web browser (no special software required)

4. The Design Plain front with power switch.
Connector front – also with power switch.

22. Configuration Made Easy

23. Select Manufacturer

24. Select Instrument
and more…

25. The User Interface Show measurement data in one graph
Select from one to six parameters
Make general settings to the graph

26. The User Interface Make advanced settings to your graph
Select from four different types – line, filled line, steps and bar
Adjust the color of the lines
Configure every parameter individually

27. The User Interface Zoom into graphs to get details of events
Crosshairs show measurement values in the graph with timestamp
