collected data can be periodically transmitted to a FTP server or read out with a PC or
special equipment.
Depending on the configuration of the logger, up to 4 freely programmable channels
can be connected to sensors for data recording.
Furthermore, the logger can be used to trigger user-defined alarm signals (e.g. signal
lights, SMS or email), if a threshold is exceeded or special alarm equipment is
triggered.
