Remote acquisition runs up to 5km

Remote communication with field equipment up to 5km away is now possible with HBM's improved Catman software.

Remote communication with field equipment up to 5km away is now possible with HBM's improved Catman software.

Data exchange rates of up to 100Hz across eight channels are possible with measuring devices such as HBM's Spider8.

The improved software establishes communication and downloads data automatically from the measuring device.

In addition to the software, two commercially available modems are needed.

One of these is connected to the Spider8 via its serial interface while the other is connected to the PC loaded with the Catman software.

The system is intended for monitoring data remotely or in adverse conditions where manual checks may be difficult or impractical.

The Spider8 digital multichannel data acquisition system is installed on site and can be connected to all commercially available transducers.

During remote operation either a power supply unit or an independent battery can be used for the 12V power needed by the Spider8.
