H2 – Historical and Instantaneous Data Acquisition and Control System

Scanmatics latest tool for data collection, data storage and presentation of historical or present value measurements, called H2, consists of a number of modules, which can be combined into a complete data collection system as needed. The system includes a rich functionality, covering everything from remote configuration of data loggers, to data collection and presentation of data.
