Environment Monitoring

 Top  Previous  Next

Both the external temperature and humidity can be monitored using an external sensor connected to the serial port of the computer.

 

Hardware

A temperature or temperature / humdity combi sensor is required to monitor the temperature. These sensors are sold separately and can either be obtained from http://www.netikus.net (if you are located in the US) or from our partner located in Germany if you are located outside the US.

 

Both sensors require one available serial port (for data transfer) and one available USB port (for power supply).

 

Features

Environment monitoring offers the following features:

 

•You can be alerted if the temperature exceeds or does not reach a configured temperature threshold
•You can be alerted if the humidity exceeds or does not reach a configured humidity threshold
•Record temperature and/or humidity history in database, viewable through graphical charts in the web reports
•Both Fahrenheit and Celsius are supported

 

Please see the next chapter for more information on the configuration of this feature.
