DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE FOR DEMANDING ENVIRONMENTS SINCE 1997

MLWeb: Web based data access!

MLWeb represents the latest advancement of our software system, it essentially consists of "bridging" software that interfaces the latest .NET web functionality from Microsoft with our MultiLoggerDB system. This provides a way for the end-users to manage their systems using MultiLogger, to automate the collection of data using the Agent feature and then to create and manage the database project using our standard MultiLoggerDB software components, including the Database Console and Insite.

MLWeb then interfaces the Windows Server machine with the database to provide the interface that the user has developed, including project views, sensor locations, current readings, and pre-programming outputs that include columnar reports, charts and Microsoft Excel based spreadsheets.

With an appropriate server and connectivity it allows for easy, secure, cost-effective web based data access deployment.

Product News

We’ve improved numerous aspects of our hardware and software products including improvements to our hardware and software products to make them easier and more reliable to collect and manage your monitoring data.

Hardware

Numerous customers asked us for a limited channel expansion module so in response we developed the MicroMux4. This provides 4 channels of 4-wire sensor expansion or 8 channels of 2-wire expansion. An internal switch configures the switching mode. The design is based on our very reliable MiniMux multiplexer and includes transient protection on the power and signal leads. The power leads also include reverse polarity protection. Click here for the datasheet.

MultiLogger Suite Software

We’ve released MultiLogger version 5.0 which includes many improvements over prior versions. Further, as part of the changes we’ve made with MultiLogger, we’ve changed the way we license and sell all of our software. Formerly we sold MultiLoggerDB and MLWeb for database and web capabilities, respectively, as separate packages. Now we are bundling all of our software into a single package, called MultiLogger Suite, and it includes a limited use database license. The database license is limited to 50 instruments. Additional licensing is available to expand the capabilities of the database system to any number of instruments.

See the following sections for additional information on each software component and the enhancements we’ve developed:

MultiLogger

MultiLogger has been converted to a true client/server architecture. This means MultiLogger is now a client of our software component called MLGateway. This provides for easier distribution of network and logger configurations to multiple users among other benefits. Numerous improvements have been made in the management of networks and dataloggers, for example schedules can be configured for data collection from each node. Further, MLGateway can be installed as a Windows Service which means the computer doesn’t need to be logged in to continue automatically collecting data and importing into the database. A more comprehensive summary of improvements can be found here.

MLDBConsole

MLDBConsole can now automatically import several different formats of manual inclinometer surveys. Supported formats include files from RST, Slope Indicator and Geokon. Combined with enhancements to Insite to support processing and outputting the data this means all your geotechnical data can be managed with a single suite of software!

Insite

Insite has been improved in a number of ways over recent months. Two new output types are available including Event Chart and Inclinometer. The Event Chart provides for processing and outputting event records stored in the database. Event records are either high-speed data captures or seismic records. For example, Kinemetrics .evt files can be imported into the database and processed for acceleration, Fast-Fourier Transforms (FFT), Power Spectral Density (PSD), among other types. Inclinometer provides for reducing and presenting manual survey inclinometer records imported into the database. All standard chart types are supported including Cumulative and Incremental Deviation and Displacement as well as Time Displacement and Vector plots.

MLWeb

MLWeb has had several interface improvements including a new tree view control for easier navigating around the database and a new menu control to provide easy access to the various MLWeb pages. MLWeb can also generate and output the new Event Chart and Inclinometer output types.
