GP2 Advanced Data Logger and Controller

Overview

• Powerful and rugged field data logger

• 12 differential (or 24 single ended) channels

• Ideal for demanding research applications

• Free use of DeltaLINK-Cloud data sharing service

The GP2 is a powerful 12 channel data logger that is easy to use, versatile, rugged and reliable. It can log most sensor types and accepts voltage, resistance, current, potentiometer, bridge, counter, frequency, and digital state inputs. DeltaLINK software helps the user set up logging sequences and provides control over reading frequency, sensor type, thresholds, units and much more. All Delta-T sensors can be selected from a menu.

Advanced features of the new GP2 Data Logger and Controller

• Powerful, yet highly accessible Script Editor

• Virtual Channels

• Unique Simulator function

• Smart irrigation and fertigation

• PID control

• Model implementation, simulation and evaluation

• Evapotranspiration calculation and analysis

Customised control (simple or advanced)

Control conditions for experiments and applications can range from simple thresholding to sophisticated calculations using the Script Editor. Control parameters (e.g. target soil moisture level) can be adjusted without interrupting data logging.

Script Editor

The GP2 is a flexible and powerful research and control instrument – enabling model implementation, simulation and evaluation. The new Script Editor is easy to use, yet allows the creation of complex functions such as disease prediction, degree days, dew point, wind chill factor, PID control, and evapotranspiration calculation and analysis.

• Script Editor creates sequences of operations to implement models  

• Advanced control and recording capabilities

• Easy user interface: no typing out of commands; no programming language

• Implement simple or complex conditions, algebraic expressions and record result values

• Create and manipulate variables e.g. for disease risk factor

This powerful software feature creates step by step operations to control simple or complex processes or recording requirements. The editor interface is easy to use – no programming language is involved. It can also implement models, useful in areas such as disease prediction or multi-zone irrigation. This degree of sophistication, including the ability to apply PID control, means the potential applications are numerous and varied.

Virtual channels

Calculations based on the measurements from several input channels can be recorded and displayed as additional “virtual channels”.

Simulator

Test and optimise logging programs using the built-in Simulator.

Simulate how the program responds to changes in weather data, irrigation systems and soil moisture movement etc.

This unique software feature allows logging programs to be tested before real-world activation. For applications involving weather data, irrigation or soil moisture recording, the environmental variables can be changed to test how the program responds. Years of logging time can be simulated in just a few minutes.
