App improves temperature-logging capabilities
Ametek
The Cyclops Logger App enhances the operation of the company’s Cyclops portable infrared-based, non-contact thermometer (photo). It features a Route Mode management system, which ensures that temperature measurements are recorded at pre-configured locations. The information can be presented against a variety of parameters, such as emissivity and window correction. This provides configurable measurement routes for the plant or process, making it ideal for monitoring areas with multiple locations that require regular monitoring, says the company. A four-digit code assigned to each temperature reading along the route allows predefined information about the material’s emissivity to be linked to every measurement location, and date and time data to be captured. Once the user has taken temperature measurements, and the data have been recorded automatically by the new Cyclops Logger app, the data can be downloaded using the Bluetooth capability to a desktop computer for sharing or analysis. — Ametek, Land Instruments International Ltd., Dronfield, U.K.
