DATA ACQUISITION WITH THE NOMAD

Get ready for a way cool new product. The Nomad Data logger.

A first glance, the Nomad looks like a 6 inch (152 mm) piece of a stainless steel pipe. But, enclosed in that piece of pipe is a powerful, self-contained, and easy to use data logger.

You can adjust the sampling rate from once per second to once every 10 hours--in 1 second intervals. So, with a capacity of 16336 readings, you can store a lot of data! Expect the internal battery to last an incredible 5 years.

Software, of course, is included, that lets you look at a data dump, or a time-history graph. The Nomad will convert, store, and display engineering units--set via the software. And, you can upload the files to a spreadsheet program, if you like.

Separate models are available for 0-100 mV; 4-20mA; and temperature inputs.

The Nomad is priced at $575.00, but I'm sure if you mention that you saw this article, Rick will make you a hot deal!!

THE COOL SITES AND THE INDUSTRY LINKS

For the uninitiated, Mike's cool sites are at

http://www.gasdetection.com/cool.html

and our industry links are at

http://www.gasdetection.com/indlinks.html

We need your help and advice in both places.

Surely, there are dozens (perhaps thousands) of you in cyber-land, who have some great suggestions for more both pages. And, most importantly, although we have "robots" searching for us, tell us about links that don't work.

SYSTEMS THE WAY YOU WANT THEM!!

With so many instrument companies being bought out, or biting the dust, it's getting much more difficult for the potential customer to find a total system solution.

What if you need to monitor gases that require sensors from three different manufactures? Who's going to put it together?

In the old days, and if the job were big enough, you could go to someone like United Controls. These days, if the job is really huge--I mean in the millions of dollars--you can still find a packager.

But, what if you're talking about a $25,000-$250,000 project??

Search all you want, and you'll come up empty--except for Interscan.

Let us "take away the pain.." Send us your requirements.

HOLIDAY CHEER

What if you need something during those last two weeks of the year?

Many companies are short-staffed or closed completely. At Interscan, we may be a bit relaxed at this time, but there will still be people here to help you. So don't be shy! If you need us, call us.

And, from all of us to all of you, best wishes for the holidays.

Until next time, I remain
