The OrionNET Acquisition Server

Connecting to local-network data sources, acquiring data, and storing the acquired data in SQL Server CE databases, the OrionNET Acquisition server is the "heart" of the OrionNET software. After data is acquired and stored, the OrionNET Viewer provides operation-customizable data viewing.

Only one acquisition server can reside on a single computer. The acquisition server can have one or more local-network data sources. When multiple data sources are present, the acquisition server gathers data simultaneously from each source.

• Allows remote Internet viewing (requires Internet connectivity).
• Provides user-defined displays with many customizable controls (horizontal charts, digital display, analog gauge, warning-state display, well schematic, well survey, and many more.
• Allows simple in-job calibration.
• Has capability to set alarms and warnings, and includes alarm and event log.
• Provides capability for derived-channel definitions to be calculated based on other input channels.
• Monitors forces, fatigue, and limits in real time when used in conjunction with Cerberus v9.x.
•  Using the standard OrionNET installation, acquires data from the following data-source types:

• Supports duplicate channel names across data-engine sources in a single configuration.
• Includes support for multiple monitors.
• Provides Chinese and Russian language support.
• Includes Emergency Stop System support.
• Optionally appends newly acquired data to an existing OrionNET database.
• Imports EMU files.
• Imports Orion™ 8.0 databases and configurations.
• Imports/exports OrionNET configurations.
• Provides ability to set analog or digital channels during acquisition. Dynamically applies configuration changes – no need to restart Acquisition.
• Provides enhanced Reporting capabilities:

•Factors may be applied to an entire database file to adjust sensor data.

•Job data may be exported from post-job report to other applications.

•Reporting features are applied to a copy of the original data, leaving the original database intact.
