Grant's high performance Squirrel data loggers now 'network ready' with built-in Ethernet.CAMBRIDGE, England -- Grant Instruments (www.grant.co.uk), a world renowned manufacturer and supplier of data acquisition, scientific and life sciences products, has enhanced its Squirrel squirrel, name for small or medium-sized rodents of the family Sciuridae, found throughout the world except in Australia, Madagascar, and the polar regions; it is applied especially to the tree-living species. SQ2020 and SQ2040 high performance portable data loggers data logger - data logging with built-in Ethernet, at no extra cost to the customer. This enhancement provides users with an out-of-the-box 'network ready' data acquisition product boasting faster implementation, more reliable system networking and remote data transmission. With twin processors, multiple 24-bit analogue-to-digital converters, 8 to 32 universal channels and 8 event inputs, plus USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. and RS232 (Wi-Fi and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) A digital cellular phone technology based on TDMA that is the predominant system in Europe, but also used worldwide. Developed in the 1980s, GSM was first deployed in seven European countries in 1992. ) connectivity, the Squirrel SQ2020 and SQ2040 ranges, provide the flexibility for use as portable, stand-alone loggers or as PC-linked data acquisition systems. Target applications include industrial testing and research, such as vehicle testing or engine monitoring, scientific and environmental research, and quality assurance. The new Squirrel SQ2020 and SQ2040 high precision (0.05% of reading and 0.025% of range) data loggers can store up to 1.8 million readings in the onboard Refers to a chip or other hardware component that is directly attached to the printed circuit board (motherboard). Contrast with offboard. See inboard. memory - additional storage is available via a removable Multimedia (MMC See MultiMediaCard and Microsoft Management Console. ) or SD card. The units also feature up to 16 calculated/derived channels and 4 alarm outputs for triggering external devices. They are powered from internal cells, an external power supply or via USB connection. Like all Squirrel loggers, the SQ2020 and SQ2040 series feature an intuitive graphical display and are very easy to configure, and connect to virtually any sensor input. The loggers are able to fulfil many data logging (data) data logging - (data acquisition) Storing a series of measurements over time, usually from a sensor that converts a physical quantity such as temperature, pressure, relative humidity, light, resistance, current, power, speed, vibration into a voltage that is then converted needs, including more demanding applications requiring up to 100 readings per second on 4 channels (Squirrel SQ2040-4F16). SquirrelView set-up and download software for a PC is provided as part of the system to enable users to export stored data to a chosen PC based application. The Squirrel SQ2020 and SQ2040 are compatible with Grant's comprehensive range of temperature probes and with commercially available sensors for measuring a variety of physical parameters.
