What are the available onsite data retrieval options?

We offer storage modules, displays, and PDA options. In addition, a datalogger can be connected to a PC or laptop computer. For more information, review the "Data Storage & Retrieval Peripherals" brochure.
What information is needed to have a productive conversation with Campbell Scientific about antennas?

Be ready to provide information about the measurement system, such as datalogger, power supply, and telemetry preferences. Depending on the system, there may be questions about the distance between measurement stations, type of topography, and location of each station. It may also be helpful to provide maps of the measurement area.
What is a server?

In its simplest form, a server hears requests and delivers answers. In the case of RTMC Web Server, it hears requests from PCs, and it delivers files using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), the language of the Internet.
