DataRAM 2000 Particulate Monitor Forest Service User's Guide
The remote satellite telemetry system sends the data from the DataRAM by satellite to a base station where the data can be retrieved by the Internet. The Internet site address is http://www.satguard.com/usdafs. The site requires a username and password. Telephone Andy Trent (MTDC), 406-329-3912; Jim Drewett (ADSI, Inc.), 619-585-0435; or Jeff Ogburn (Air Resource Specialists), 970-484-7941, for this information. The Web site will also require you to have the unit number of the satellite system. The designated unit number for the satellite system is inside the briefcase (for example, unit USFS 35).
The Web site will show the current ambient particulate concen-trations for your unit. Data from previous days may be viewed by changing the date. Times are in Greenwich Mean Time (table 1) and must be converted to your location. You can use this chart or use the conversion chart at the Internet site to convert Greenwich Mean Time to your time zone.
A separate Web page shows data in a tabular form. These data may be copied into a spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel.
