OMEGA Engineering, Inc. Handheld Programmer and Data Collector OM-EL-DATAPAD

The OM-EL-DATAPAD allows users of compatible OM-EL-USB Series data loggers to configure their units and download data and view logging results on-the spot rather than removing the logger from the environment being measured and taking it to their PC. This allows continual logging with shorter breaks in data collection, less travel for the user, on-site data collection in graph, legend and summary format and the ability for users to reconfigure loggers in “the field”. The logger is connected to the OM-EL-DATAPAD via a standard USB port at the top of the viewer. Once connected, the user is guided through a simple touchscreen menu with options to set-up logger, stop logger and download and view data. On-screen instructions follow the same structure as the OM-EL-WIN-USB software for PC currently provided with each data logger. Data from up to 100 loggers can be viewed on the OM-EL-DATAPAD, with data from a further 400 units stored on the unit at any one time. Data can be transferred to a PC using a micro USB cable supplied with the unit. Once uploaded, data is saved in comma separated variable (csv) format, making it suitable for import into spreadsheet packages such as Microsoft Excel or graphed on a PC using the OM-EL-WIN-USB software.
