>> dataTaker Solution
Two dataTaker 500s and two Channel Expansion Modules were installed in the center's data room. The data loggers were set up to capture and log data from a variety of sensors throughout the building via copper and fibre-optic cables.

The dataTakers in turn are connected to a PC running software to supervise the data loggers and to manage returned data. Researchers anywhere in the building can access this data via the center's computer network.

An important feature of the dataTaker data loggers is exploited in this application - the data loggers operate independently of the laboratory control system, and will continue to collect data even if the laboratory control system goes off-line. There is no danger of losing valuable data.
