Boreas data collector units are the central instruments of the automatic meteorological station. Their tasks are to organize the individual devices into a uniformed system, to control the measures, to store and transmit the results to the computer connected to it. At required time intervals (stored in an internal device table) the data collector unit sends commands to the sensors to start measures, sends results, sends maintenance information, receives and stores the measure and conditions information in it's internal memory. By a require from the central computer (in the format of event records fromwho-when-howmuch) the information stored in the BCU can be sent to the PC.
The measured data could be accessed over local or remote connection. The data acquisition programs are ready to run under 32 bit Windows, Windows CE-based PDAs and different Linux platforms.
The data collector has a local computer connection to perform maintenance tasks. It can be connected to the central computer with a special line interface (BBU), with a radio connection (on 433 or 450 MHz) or by phone (generic or GSM) modem. In the case of built-up local or remote connection the operating parameters of the data collector can be set by a configuration program running under 32 bit Windows operation systems. The program and the data collector are protected by password against unauthorized access.
