Core Data Logger

The STS4 Core Data Logger is a ruggedized custom-built industrial computer that is designed to facilitate data acquisition in the harshest of environments. 
The core data loggers are field-proven to provide continuous and reliable operation for structural monitoring applications. 
The core data loggers are preconfigured to run the STS-CORE application that processes all raw data from our distributed data acquisition hardware. 
An STS4 Core Data Logger is typically delivered along with a turn-key structural monitoring system.

Data Processing Modes
Trend Data: Captures statistical readings at a lower data rate for the purposes of viewing long-term trend data.
Event Data: Captures higher-speed blocks of data based on a triggered threshold, typically from one or more sensors. Data is recorded pre- and post-trigger and customizable.
Rainflow: Captures stress cycle counts and binned into user defined stress ranges using ASTM E 1049-85
Live-Load: The system can be configured to run live-load tests, essentially a means to capture real-time data at the user-definead sample rate.
Frequency: Raw data can be processed into the frequency domain and recorded. Frequency modes can be binned similar to Rainflow mode or used to calculate cable forces.
