Peripheral devices periodically poll digital sensors and either store or transmit the data.  For example, SensorSync provides a PDA interface using either an RS-232 link or an IrDA SIR link which enables data to be “beamed” directly to a database on a PalmOS  PDA. SLUG is a miniature, low price data-logger that can store up to 100days of data and runs on a single 9V battery. These solutions cost up to 80% less than similar solutions for analog sensors.

Management of the digital data gathered is simplified because the data already exists in real world units. YieldPoint’s MineScope is a powerful Window based database tool, with exceptional storage, retrieval, filtering and reporting capabilities, and the communications functionality and conduits to retrieve data from peripheral devices such as PDA’s or dataloggers. All data is stored in XML (eXtensible Markup Language), and can be ported across the internet where data can be shared with specialists, consultants and head-office.

Data Management  MineScope

The MIU (Manual Interrogation Unit) is a low cost digital readout unit for YieldPoint’s digital sensors. The onboard micro-controller uses proprietary firmware to communicate with the sensors and display data on the LCD in  real world units. As new sensor models become available the firmware can be updated, so that the readout unit will never become obsolete. MIU runs off a 9V battery and displays it’s own battery status directly in Volts. With typical usage an alkaline battery will last longer than 150 days. more
