Real-Time Alarm Software

The Real-Time Alarm Software monitors data from HOBO® data loggers and provides real-time alarm notification when conditions exceed user-defined limits. The loggers can be connected directly to the computer via a USB or Serial port, or remotely through an inexpensive USB server on an Ethernet network.

Features • Alarm notification via cell phone text message, pager or e-mail when conditions exceed user-defined limits • Visual alarm notification on host computer • At a 1-minute polling interval, the software can monitor up to 16 data loggers (each logger requires a USB or Serial port) with up to 16 sensor conditions per logger; able to exceed these numbers with longer polling intervals • Alarm notifications when batteries or available memory get low, or when logger connection is broken • User-defined delay filters out false alarms from momentary events • Custom alarm messages defined by user • Save and recall alarm configurations • Displays current logger readings • Computer can still be used for other applications • Logger data can be offloaded in HOBOware® software to get detailed records of conditions
