1 INTRODUCTION
The PROLOGGER is a battery powered data collection system manufactured
by UNIDATA. It is ideal for automatic data collection at remote, unmanned
locations. The PROLOGGER incorporates the latest advanced CMOS
technology and intelligent auto calibration techniques to provide a very
accurate, low cost, programmable data collection system.
Like other STARLOG products the PROLOGGER has a simple robust
construction, is battery-powered, is available at a low cost, and can be
universally applied.
The main features of the PROLOGGER are:
•
Large 512k battery protected storage area.
•
16 bit conversion resolution on all channels - analog and digital.
•
High impedance input channels with large 26 bit dynamic range down to
microvolt resolution.
•
GSM/Cellular and PSTN telemetry support.
•
SDI-12 communications bus.
•
Large four line LCD display.
The PROLOGGER provides an upgrade path for the Model 7000 Macro
logger. It supports all existing applications. The signal pin-out is the same and
existing field terminations can be used.
The PROLOGGER is designed to be operated with the Version 3 STARLOG
Software Support Package (Model 6301).
