Grant Instruments has introduced a Wi-Fi enabled portable data logger. The Squirrel Wi-Fi data loggers feature built-in Standard 802.11 wireless Ethernet (Wi-Fi) capability that allows easy integration with existing wireless networks in scientific laboratories, offices and factories. Users can now connect their computer remotely to the logger to retrieve data and reprogramme the device without the need for communications cabling or expensive converter boxes. With multiple 24-bit analogue-to-digital converters and up to 16 true differential or 32 single ended analogue inputs, the Wi-Fi Squirrel data loggers are an out-of-the-box solution for a wide range of data logging applications.
These include industrial testing and research, vehicle testing or engine monitoring, scientific and environmental research, and quality assurance.
The high precision Squirrel Wi-Fi data loggers can store up to 10 million readings in the onboard memory - additional storage is available via a removable Multimedia (MMC) or SD card. The unit also features up to 16 calculated/derived channels, 4 alarm outputs for triggering external devices, USB and RS232 serial ports and is powered from internal cells, an external power supply or via a USB connection. 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. Customers that are registered for Grant`s SquirrelView.net web server application can also upload the data
automatically to a dedicated web page and thereby allow authorised personnel to access the latest data via their web browser. The Grant data acquisition product range extends from high specification, portable data logging systems (Squirrel family) through to fully integrated custom-configurable acquisition and control systems
(dataTaker family), while Eltek produces Squirrel variants primarily for remote logging.
