The GP2 Data Logger from Delta T Devices (UK) has a new dedicated online resource centre which features tutorial videos, step-by-step guides, and free software downloads.
The GP2 is a 12 channel field data logger with advanced control capabilities - ideal for demanding research applications and field work. It is weatherproof, rugged, battery powered and comes with 12 differential analogue inputs and 2 relays as standard. The GP2 features an innovative Script Editor which provides exceptional flexibility in defining control conditions, ranging from simple thresholding (e.g. soil moisture level) to sophisticated calculations (e.g. PID control, seasonality etc).
A key feature of the GP2 that sets it apart from other competitors’ loggers is its ease of use. This particularly applies to its Script Editor which enables simple step-by-step operations to implement sophisticated models and control processes. The resource centre tutorials videos show how users need only a reasonable knowledge of mathematics to achieve impressive results (no programming language is involved).
The online resource centre also demonstrates the GP2’s unique Simulator function. This allows users to generate valuable realistic simulated environmental data quickly and easily. Years of logging time can be simulated in just a few minutes – enabling researchers to test logging/control programs, and assess results, before real‐world activation. Users can download DeltaLINK 3 software for free - which gives them access to full Simulator functionality.
