Wireless Lab Data Acquisition.

Built on the SCADAS Mobile platform, the LMS SCADAS Recorder has been designed for applications such as proving ground testing, large production plants, off-road vehicles, wind turbines and many other demanding applications. The LMS SCADAS Recorder can be used as an autonomous recorder, as a smart recorder with a wireless PDA connection or as a front-end system for in-field and laboratory applications. The system is compatible with major sensor types and is seamlessly integrated with the LMS Test.Lab, LMS Test.Xpress and LMS TecWare software for noise, vibration and durability analysis. This extends the LMS platform to the broadest possible range of data acquisition and analysis tasks, including autonomous data recording.

The pressure sensors installed to measure the hydraulic grade line (HGL), the flow meters to gauge discharge, and the tailgate control for the culvert setup were linked to a National Instruments FieldPoint system, a modular distributed input/output system. FieldPoint is designed for measurement, control, and data logging applications that require reliable, rugged systems involving diverse sensors and actuators located centrally or spread over large distances. FieldPoint also provides the flexibility to choose an open, standard networking technology such as Ethernet, serial, or wireless that best suits an application. At the FHWA Hydraulics Laboratory, wireless networking technology is used to integrate Fieldpoint into the lab data acquisition system. National Instruments LabVIEW graphical development software provides the tools to create measurement and control applications for FieldPoint.

This paper describes all tools and procedures used to structure and implement an automatic data acquisition and control mobile laboratory network for crop production systems data management and spatial variability studies in the Brazilian Center-West Region. It was set up with base in remote sensing and microprocessor techniques, microelectronic devices, sensors, controls, sampling systems, data loggers, portable microcomputers, automatic data acquisition, RF communications link, and the global positioning system (GPS), allowing for the acquisition of spatially related data during tilling, planting, and harvesting. Physical chemistries and biological characteristics of the continuous soil-water-plant-atmosphere were monitored along of the crop growth period, at field conditions, seeking the rationalization of the agricultural inputs use and the performance improvement of agricultural systems. Some results are presented.

Company Profile: Manufacturer of stand-alone and wireless data acquisition and collection systems including remote weather stations. Features of data acquisition systems include aluminum environmental enclosure, datalogger, 12 V battery, wiring panel and color-coded and keyed connectors.

Portable systems also are frequently used in vehicles where space constraints can be extreme. For example, a system that profiles the interior temperature of an automobile must fit into the trunk since its presence in the passenger compartment would affect the test results. In a compact car, the trunk often is very small, making the size of the data acquisition system critical. In general, smaller and lighter always are preferable for portable systems.

Stand-alone systems often require a user interface so that the operator can call up predefined tests, initiate or arm the acquisitions, and verify that the acquisition occurred successfully. Since the environment often is too hostile for a PC to act in this capacity, a system must offer an alternative user interface. Because of the tight coupling between the user interface and the test hardware, it must be supplied by the data acquisition system supplier.
