Try the Trident VirtualMeter
MeterView® software allows remote programming and data acquisition of the Trident series. The remote programming allows for all available meter settings to be programmed from a personal computer through an easy user-friendly interface. The data acquisition allows the user to gather readings from up to 100 meters at user-selected intervals and generate charts using common tools like Microsoft® Excel.

PROGRAMING

One of the great things about the Trident meter is that serial adapters are external to the Trident meter. That means you buy just one adapter and use it with the free MeterView software to program as many Tridents as you want.

DATA ACQUISITION

Digital Panel Meters make a great front end to a PC-based data acquisition system. They are easy to set up, can be used for a wide range of inputs, will power the transmitter, and best of all provide a local display of the process. Precision Digital has the perfect package with its Trident Digital Panel Meters, a wide selection of serial adapters and converters and MeterView software. Data is displayed on the PC and written to a file that could then be imported into a spreadsheet or other application
