4.4 Data Loggers
The 545B can transmit data that has been collected and stored by a data logger unit. Although
each type of data logger operates differently, the 545B allows you to gather data from a
supported data logger and deliver it, via a Master Station, to a central Host Computer or Data
Center, where it can be placed in a database and/or manipulated for other programs, such as
forecasting, modeling, etc.
The 545B interfaces with a number of different data logger units. You can select the data logger
you are using by entering the given parameter as part of the ASSIGN command. Refer to
Appendix B for specifics on selecting and using each individual type of data logger with the
545B.
MCC is constantly updating its list of data loggers supported by the 545B. Consult the factory
for the latest list of supported devices.
4.5 Reporting Position Location
The 545B can transmit position location information supplied by a standard GPS or LORAN
unit. This position location can be sent, via the Master Station, to a central Host Computer or
Data Center. This data can be used in dispatch centers, corporate district offices, and other
monitoring Stations for updating map displays or additional functions.
