Let us help design your measurement system

We specialize in designing custom, high-quality measurement and control systems. Our experts have designed and built systems that are deployed all over the world. We can help you design the perfect system for your specific application with no obligation on your part.

To design a quality cost-effective system for you, we’ll need some information about your system requirements. You can provide this information in our easy-to-use, step-by-step form. Please provide as much as detail as possible.

To get started, click Begin below. If you have just a quick question, you can ask it here.

Site Environment

Step 1 of 10 | Next Up: Measurements

What is the temperature range of your site?*

Please enter the temperature range for your location. Please specify units of measurement.

What is the approximate latitude at your site?*

Please enter the latitude of your site. Find the latitude of your install site at: mygeoposition.com

What is the approximate elevation at your site?*

Please enter the elevation for your site. Please specify units of measurement.

What are the environmental conditions at the site?

For example: ice, sand, blowing dirt, salt spray, snow, high winds, hail, lightning, heavy rain, or high humidity.

Basic location information for your station site is critical to selecting products that will endure the applicable environmental challenges and continue to provide accurate measurement data.

Measurements

Step 2 of 10 | Next Up: Datalogging

What measurements would you like to make?*

Please include all the parameters that you would like to make, as well as any needed specific accuracy requirements.

e.g., wind speed & direction, air temperature, barometric pressure

Please enter your measurement requirements.

Determining which parameters you need to measure will help determine the sensor types that you need, as well as the types of datalogger connections you need.

Datalogging

Step 3 of 10 | Next Up: Power

Do you plan to add or change the sensors in your system in the future?*

Yes

Do you need to control external devices based on time or measurements?*

Yes

What is the rate of the fastest interval you need to measure?*

15 min or higher

between 1 min and 15 min

between 1 s and one min

between .01 s and 1 s

between .001 s and .01 s

Understanding how much flexibility you need helps determine which type of datalogger is required.

* = required

Power

Step 4 of 10 | Next Up: Communications

How do you plan to power your system?*

Rechargeable battery charged by AC power (AC power must be available at the site)

Rechargeable battery charged by solar panel (requires enough solar power supply for continuous monitoring)

Non-rechargeable battery (requires battery replacement every few months)

To provide continuous monitoring, a system requires a power supply that can sufficiently handle the current drain of all the system equipment.

* = required

Communications

Step 5 of 10 | Next Up: Mounting

How would you like to retrieve your data?*

Site visits (no remote communication)

Cellular modem (requires plan with cellular carrier)

Spread-spectrum radio (requires line of sight)

UHF/VHF radio (requires FCC license)

Satellite (remote communication where cell and radio are impractical)

Ethernet

Direct connection (requires close proximity to sysetm)

Do you need the system to alert personnel when certain site conditions are met?*

Yes

To fully use your data when, where, and how you need to, it is important to select the right communications options.

* = required

Mounting

Step 6 of 10 | Next Up: Software

Which mounting option do you prefer?*

Pole

Portable tripod

10 ft tripod

10 ft tower

20 ft tower

30 ft tower

Providing sturdy support for your system equipment is critical to protecting your components and ensuring your data integrity.

* = required

Software

Step 7 of 10 | Next Up: Services

How would you like to program your datalogger?*

Wizard with GUI interface

Full programming language

Would you like to be able to create online custom displays for your data?*

Yes (requires skilled programming user)

We have a variety of software packages to help you manage your data collection system the way you want. Answering the related questions will help us determine the right software for your project.
