Methods for Automatic Storage, Visualization, and Reporting in Datalogging Applications
Andrés Thórarinsson · 2007
The handling of data in geotechnical and environmental datalogging applications is quite different from typical industrial data handling. This is partly because industrial users are most interested in the present situation while researchers often value long and uninterrupted series of measurements. There is, however, increased interest to incorporate the best parts of industrial systems into geotechnical datalogging applications, namely database storage, visualization of data, alarm services, web service and the latest communication and interconnection technologies between software applications using open standards. The purpose being to cut the cost of data handling and reporting, perhaps as much as 80% compared with the older tabulated data handling, while giving new meaning to the word "logged data".
