The SpaceLogger.W50 data logger is an WiFi (WLAN) connected logger for
enabling the simultaneous live viewing and recording of data from a
single wind, weather or environmental sensor on WeatherFile.com.
Compatible with wind, weather and environmental sensors from Gill
Instruments, LCJ Capteurs and Calypso, the SpaceLogger W50 logger
accommodates RS232 serial input.
Please contact us if you have a
sensor requiring an WiFi (WLAN) connected data logger, we work with
manufacturers delivering customised OEM and retrofit solutions.
The SpaceLogger.W50 data logger requires RS232 input either direct from the meteorological sensor or via a WS-15A display unit (an easy to read 40 character programmable local display which shows wind speed in a choice of measurement units and wind direction in degrees, as a wind arrow and as cardinal points). When long cable runs dictate use of RS485, a WS-15A Display or RS485 to RS232 converter enables connection to the SpaceLogger.W50 data logger.
Data is sampled at 1Hz from the connected sensor and stored on a removable SDHC memory card. The raw sensor data is processed by the logger to calculate 5 or 10 minute averaged values with min and max readings during that period. This data set is date and time stamped and recorded every 5 or 10 minutes in a separate daily .CSV file.
Current and historic data can be viewed via WeatherFile.com. Files can also be accessed wirelessly using the SpaceLogger Real-time Communicator Software over a Wi-Fi wireless local area network (WLAN). If the Wi-Fi wireless local area network (WLAN) is temporarily unavailable, data may be downloaded directly from the SD card to a PC when removed from the SpaceLogger.
Configuration of the SpaceLogger.W50 is via a simple set-up file written to the SD card and connectivity to the local area network (WLAN) can be achieved either through the set-up file or via the WPS (WiFI Protected Setup) push button feature. The SpaceLogger Launcher Software may connect to multiple loggers within the same WLAN at any time.
SpaceLogger.W50 is compatible with a wide range of meteorological sensors:
• Gill WindSonic sensors
• Gill WindObserver sensors
• Gill WindMaster sensors
• Gill MetPak & MetPak Pro Weather Stations
• Gill GMX MaxiMet range of sensors

Gwennap Head National Coastwatch Weather Station | |
Richard Paul Russell has provided a complete internet connected weather station utilising a SpaceLogger W50 for the National Coastwatch Institution at Gwennap Head in Cornwall. The Gill Metpak weather sensor data is captured by the W50 data logger enclosed in the WeatherFile Connection Unit (WCU) and then transferred via the W50's Wi-Fi module to the Local area network and the internet. The live and historic wind speed, wind direction, pressure, temperature and humidity data can then be viewed on any internet connected device via the WeatherFile website. Richard Paul Russell have over 70 weather systems all using SpaceLogger W50s viewable on the WeatherFile website. |

Ryde Pier, Isle of Wight, Wind Data | |
This takes the Solent WeatherFile network to five sites and is an essential resource for sailors, water sport enthusiasts, sailing event organisers and others wishing to have live and accurate wind speed and direction measurements. One of the main challenges faced when fitting this unit was to overcome the lack of a local power supply and Wi-Fi internet access. Our newly developed WeatherFile Mobile Unit (WMU) containing a W50 and associated 4G router allows data to be gathered directly from the Gill MaxiMet GMX200 sensor and sent to our WeatherFile website. This was locally powered through a deep cycle leisure battery (70Ahr) connected to a solar panel. The result is cable free live data through WeatherFile completely independent of mains power and local internet. |

Milk Pasteurizer Machine Data Back-up | |
Why this logger is so critical is that the normal method of recording the data requires a degree of manual interaction, and if this does not occur for some reason, the entire batch cannot be sold due to the lack of pasteurization data. |
Mapping Conditions & Life on the Sea Bed | |
The SpaceLogger S10 data loggers were part of the equipment on three 3000 metre depth rated 'pods' along with batteries, video processing equipment and control electronics. Marcus Shirley of Mr ROV, a member of the research team, confirmed back to us: "The loggers worked great and allowed us to reliably record accurate data which we were able to easily import into our scienfic modelling software. The time stamping feature allowed us to sync up all the data with the logged data from the ship's GPS and vehicle USBL position transponder, creating a very comprehensive data set. Many thanks for your help. The SpaceLogger S10 data loggers were great and 100% reliable, which is very important when you're on a ship far from land!" |

Eschmann Technologies Dental Autoclave Real-Time Cycle Data Management | |
The hardware customisation was in the areas of enclosure, brand labelling and over-moulded cable assembly. The software development was extensive to interpret the cycle data, allow manual input of additional tests and checks, facilitate user data analysis and present the combined data in the desired summary and detailed formats including Eschmann branded pdfs. This was a relatively complex project that has provided Eschmann customers with an on-going very successful product, that is still standing the test of time some 10 years after first use. |

Prestige Medical's Dental Decontamination Autoclave Cycle Logging | |
The most recent customisation was for a re-designed PCB-only logger to be built-in to a new autoclave design, with particular requirements for the SD card interface with the autoclave control panel fascia. This involved a new PCB layout to accommodate several changes including a new push-push SD card connector. |

The data logger is shipped to Renosem's manufacturing facility as PCB-only for internal fitting in their plasma sterilizers. The SD card, LED indicators and purge button are all accessible through a faceplate in the outer casing of the sterilizer. The data is saved in daily text files, replicating the format that would be seen on a traditional paper printer-out. |
