| Fardux IDEA Data Loggers of either the Enterprise or Lite type can be coupled together when more hardware channels are required. Any combination of up to five loggers can be connected to the MLI to provide additional transducer inputs to the host PC software suite.
Because the IDEA range of Data Loggers are built with a modular approach in mind, clients can scale the purchase of their Data acquisition products in accordance with the current data input requirement for any particular project.
The Master and up to four additional Slave loggers connect via the MLI to a single RS232 port which communicates with the host PC IDEA Enterprise software in the same way as if a single logger had been connected.
Each connected data logger has its own microprocessor with the Master logger collecting data from each of the slave loggers in turn in accordance with simple dip switch set addressing. |
