Remote Monitoring
SloGlo:
jjordan....yinze got a green lite to go on the road reseerching alla this stuff?
seriously, when you get this pulled together, drop me a line with it, ok? seems like i keep running into situations where remote monitoring is limited by how loud one can holler. 'n them sutherners ar tuff two compeet wit! ;)

Sloglo,
I'm back! Sloglo, are you looking to put together something where you are? Maybe I can help. Let me know what you are after. I still would like more specifics on how STP is quantifying iodine with an AMS4. As far as covering divers, we have 10 SAIC dosimeters, but didn't use them. We (PGN) have MG dosimeters at all of our sites (except CR3) and the techs are familiar with them. Also we use GEDDS for remote monitoring, and it interfaces with TE and MGPAC well. We used the MUX 2000 with our MG 2000's and it worked OK. Several problems noted! only 5 ports on the MUX, need 6! Doesn't transmit fast enough, takes 3 sec/ port x 5 ports= 15 sec total time between transmissions. Also we were diving round the clock using cool suits, and the humidity I/S suit drowned a lot of our MUXes. MG has a spray for the board to make it more moisture resistant, but if used makes it unrepairable! I reccomend having plenty of MUXes, and changing out with each diver and letting them air dry for a while before reusing to dissapate all of the moisture. We bagged ours with a seal a meal with a pack of desicant I/S and this helped a lot, but it's a very hostile enviroment . You have the same issues with the SAIC, but when you lose it you also lose the dosimetric function, MG's keep working as EDs (waterproof) just loose the radio transmitter (MUX) Talked to the engineer at MG and they can speed up the transmission time and add extra ports, with a wire dongle (case isn't big enough for extra ports) We are going to try this and will let everyone know how it works! Things are always lovely by the pool! 8)

Hasher:
I would like any feedback available on the following issues:
First off, has anyone utilized two different vendors at the same time? ( specifically MG and Thermo [Seimens] ). We are running a pilot test on some equipment and I just wanted to know if anyone else has tried to run both sytems at once. They will both have data managed by a single software interface for Job Coverage. (supposed to look seamless)
Secondly, with MG what is the general opex (opinion) on 900Mhz versus 2.4 Ghz?
Thirdly, are you guys running web cams for job coverage? If so, what is your consensus versus traditional cameras involving a switcher?
Lastly, has anyone attempted a voice over LAN communication network?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great weekend,
Cheers.

Hasher,
Here's the short version. Will give you more later. Software allows you to use different hardware manufactures at the same time. Bartletts is the best by far! Best support also. But if you're like me, ya got to dance with the lady that brought ya! We have GEDDS, and it has that capability, but we don't have the need. We use only MG's and it works well for us. CR3 our sister plant uses teletrac and Siemens dosimeters, but they use MG's for area monitors also, and they have very little trouble doing it, so it can be done. Tell me what softwarte and what hardware you have, and I'll se if I can reccomend anything. We run our cameras independent of the telemetry(Pelco) but Indusstrial video has a way to send over the LAN we are looking at. But NIT has issues with us using to much bandwidth you need to consider this with all web based apps! Probably won't let us even if I beg! :-* :-* :-*
More to follow when I can find some spare time!
Does anyone know the charge code for that!

Hey does anyone know if SAIC still makes and supports the PDE4's? I'm trying to find out for Sloglo, but can't find them on their web site. I know we had the firmware in ours upgraded last year. Haven't had time to call Dana Emmons to see. He always gave me excellent support! ;D Does anyone still use them and which sites?
