DataRAM4 Particulate Monitor Forest Service User's Guide

Data Retrieval From the Internet


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 Web site requires a username and password. You will also need to have the unit number of the satellite system which is located 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.

The Internet address is http://www.satguard.com/usfs.
