OMP-MODL SYSTEM: `THE BIG PICTURE’
The OMP-MODL is a battery powered portable data logging and control system. It
can be left at a site to collect data from various analog and digital signal or sensor
inputs. This data is mathematically processed by the OMP-MODL and stored in its
internal memory while simultaneously performing basic onsite alarm functions. The
collected data is then transferred to a PC running the supplied HyperWare software
for data plotting, real-time trending and analysis.
OMP-MNL VS OMP-MODL
The OMP-MNL is a special fixed functionality model of the OMP-MODL family. The
OMP-MNL offers the same functionality as the basic OMP-MODL with the exception
that it cannot be expanded with the addition of Interface Modules.
Throughout this manual, references made to the OMP-MODL generally refer to the
OMP-MNL and the OMP-MODL except where noted.
