Onset Computer Corporation Introduces Integrated Rainfall Logging System.BOURNE Bourne, town (1990 pop. 16,064), Barnstable co., SE Mass., crossed by Cape Cod Canal; settled 1627, inc. 1884. Bourne Bridge (1935), across the canal, made the town an entry point to Cape Cod and a resort and commercial center. , Mass. -- Onset Computer Corporation, a leading supplier of battery-powered data loggers data logger - data logging for outdoor and underwater monitoring applications, today introduced the HOBO(R) RG3, a new rainfall 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 system that combines a data logging rain gauge with a built-in data logger. The new HOBO RG3 system enables agricultural researchers, growers, stormwater managers and others to record rainfall data right out of the box without having to purchase and integrate multiple components. It records data with each tip of the rain gauge bucket - ideal in situations where peak rainfall rates need to be determined - and an internal temperature sensor enables the logger to be used in a solar radiation solar radiation, n the emission and diffusion of actinic rays from the sun. Overexposure may result in sunburn, keratosis, skin cancer, or lesions associated with photosensitivity. shield to measure temperature. Other features include: --Convenient data offload To remove work from one computer and do it on another. See cooperative processing. - The HOBO RG3 offloads data to a PC via a convenient optical interface, which provides high-speed, reliable data offload in wet environments. Its optical design eliminates the need for failure-prone mechanical connectors found in traditional outdoor data logging products. --Large memory - The HOBO RG3's data logger offers twice the memory of previous versions, enabling users to record up to 160" of rainfall data with a 0.01" rain gauge. Additionally, because rainfall data is stored as rain gauge "tips," memory is not used up during periods of no rain. --Data shuttle compatible - The RG3 system works with Onset's new HOBO Waterproof Shuttle, which allows users to conveniently offload data loggers in the field and safely transport the data back to a PC or Mac for analysis. For plotting and analyzing rainfall data, Onset offers HOBOware(R) software, a highly intuitive graphing and analysis software package for PC and Mac computers. HOBOware provides a user-friendly graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to and enables users to quickly and easily view rainfall per hour, day or month, and export data to spreadsheet programs. The HOBO RG3 Rainfall Logging system is currently available from Onset and is priced at $399. The optic-USB base station, HOBO Waterproof Shuttle, and HOBOware software are all priced separately. ABOUT ONSET Onset Computer Corporation has been producing small, inexpensive, battery-powered data loggers and embedded controllers Controller circuitry built into a device or on the main system board, in contrast with a removable card or module. since 1981, and has sold over 1,000,000 loggers that are used throughout the world by over 50,000 customers. The company manufactures data logger and weather station products that are used to measure temperature, humidity humidity, moisture content of the atmosphere, a primary element of climate. Humidity measurements include absolute humidity, the mass of water vapor per unit volume of natural air; relative humidity (usually meant when the term humidity , light intensity, voltage, and a variety of other parameters. Onset products are used in a wide range of research, commercial, industrial, and educational applications. |
