The RTR-57U can collect data from any RTR-51,52,53 and RVR-52 unit as well as from any TR-5 or TR-7 Series unit. Data downloading can be carried out with any RTR unit via wireless communication or by simply placing it front down on the communication pad area as done with the TR-5 series units. Data from other types of units can be downloaded via the provided communication cable connection.The handheld RTR-57U data collector is the heart of the system. This compact, battery powered device is the instrument that is used to collect, store and read the data from the deployed loggers.
The RTR-57U is used during set up to “register” each of the uniquely coded data recorders that are to be included in the system. It can then be used to establish recording parameters, start and stop recording, download logged data and even monitor information in real time from selected devices: all without the need to use a PC.
The Data Collector has a scan mode where it will detect and report which registered recorders are within effective transmission range.
The device incorporates a large, backlit multi-function LCD that is used to display system information, operational status and downloaded data. It also displays user option menus, which are easily navigated with a simple to use, push to select, thumbwheel control.
A special feature of the RTR-57U is its graphical display mode that can be used to view a graph of downloaded data directly on the unit.
The RTR-57U can store up to 256,000 readings from as many as 250 separate recording sessions. Interface to a PC is accomplished through a standard USB connection. While most operation between the Data Collector and Data Recorders can be accomplished independently, a connection with the PC is required for system setup and for transferring data that has been collected.
