by Rebecca Walker — September 24, 2008—GrayWolf Sensing Solutions of Trumbull, Connecticut, has introduced a new range of DirectSense Ultra-Mini PC-based advanced environmental monitors. These measurement kits include USB-enabled multi-sensor probes and a neMw obile PC platform, says the company.
The new Fujitsu Ultra-Mini Vista OS mobile PC sports a swiveling touch screen and easy-to-use keyboard. A built-in camera is great for photographs (or even panoramic videos) that attach to data files on-site; enhancing documentation of walk-thru surveys. At 6.75 inches x 6 inches x 1.25 inches, this 1.56-pound PC with a 40 GB hard drive is easy to carry yet fits easily into GrayWolf’s hard-shell security case for unattended trend logging.
Plug in any of GrayWolf’s USB enabled DirectSense probes, and you have a powerful monitor for measuring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and gases for IAQ applications. Alternative probes allow the user to measure five specific toxic gases simultaneously.
Once measurements have been collected in the field —as snap-shot logs during a walk-through survey or as a trend log over time the data and field-collected notes can be reviewed, analyzed and reported with the included WolfSense PC software.
Users can create tables and histograms comparing measurements from various locations in seconds. They can display trend graphs, and overlap them to compare measured parameters in the same room on different days, or compare the trend graphs from various rooms. They can build reports by pasting into a Word document, or automate the reporting process with GrayWolf’s optional Advanced Report Generator software.
