Using Remote monitoring mode

Overview

Remote monitoring mode allows you to access instruments connected to a computer from a remote location using GENNECT Cloud.
For details about GENNECT Cloud functionality, please see the GENNECT Cloud online help.

Real-time monitor

The real-time monitor saves measured values for channels selected from instruments’ measurement parameters to the cloud server. The measurement interval is fixed at 1 min.
This manual refers to data saved in this manner as GENNECT acquisition data.

• Measured values updated in real time can be reviewed in a web browser.
• You can select a channel and interval and graph associated measured value. Values from multiple instrument models can be grouped together in a single graph.
• Measured values can be downloaded in the CSV format.

Remote control

Remote control functionality allows you to operate an instrument safely from a remote location by using its built-in HTTP server function.

Transferring and downloading files

Measurement data files that are saved on an instrument can be transferred automatically to a local computer. Files transferred to a computer can be remotely acquired via the cloud. This manual refers to such measurement data as instrument data files.
When using this function, the instrument settings are changed for file transfer. See below for details.

* It takes about 7 minutes until the instrument data file transferred from the instrument is available for acquisition.

Alarm

Alarm notifications are generated when GENNECT acquisition data satisfies alarm conditions and when instrument data files are uploaded.
Notification methods include Slack, GENNECT Cross, and web application displays.
