The Laptop/PC-based software is called RSTERM and works as a "batch-mode" bridge to the online software for users who wish to
avoid the monthly charges involved in our real-time telemetry solutions. RSTERM requires only a local area modem compabible with the
radio in the data loggers themselves, and has three simple functions: - Download data from all loggers within reach of the modem. The
received data is stored in files on the PC.
- Convert raw data files to CSV files that can immediately be opened by your favorite spreadsheet program.
- Upload data to www.ranchsystems.com for viewing in our online software, anywhere in the world.
RSTERM with all three function is available free of charge, except for the cost of the modem required for communication. |

Intuitive charting, graphing, and reporting web pages provide instant visibility to what's happening in the field even when you're not on site, as well as providing historical records and trends. Remote activation of valves or equipment is possible using the website or a cell phone, or customers can pre-set rules and triggers to respond to emergency climactic changes or to schedule automatic irrigation cycles. |
