Basic Description: Specifically designed meteorological Equipment to cater all the present day requirements of Meteorological observations. Its low power operation makes it suitable for remote Data Acquisition applications. The LCD display along with user friendly interaction menus makes the settings, configuration and viewing the stored data very easy for the user. User can continuously view and monitor all the readings on the display or can view the stored data values on the PC by retrieving the stored data. The stored data can be directly printed on a stand alone 80 column Dot Matrix Printer interfaced directly to the Observ-Met.
The in-built GPRS system connects the Observ-Met to the entire world. The Observ-Met transmits the stored data to Web site after predefined interval, sends the data over e-mail, or through SMS
.
