STOR-X Submersible Data Logger
The STOR-X submersible data logger was specifically designed for long-term coastal and freshwater environmental data logging. Its rugged design, compact size, file management capabilities and low sleep current requirements (30 µA at 12 VDC) make it the ideal data logger for remote systems.
With its advanced scheduling capability you control the acquisition schedule of each connected instrument maximizing your deployment time by conserving battery life. Longer deployments mean less service and reduced field trips costs. STOR-X scheduling and reliability features allow for year long in situ deployments without the fear of losing critical data.
The STOR-X has five (5) switched power serial interface ports and four (4) 16-bit A/D ports that allow for integration of virtually any sensor, regardless of manufacturer. For easy configuration with Satlantic instruments, the STOR-X provides pre-defined configurations, as well as options for its Sea-Bird Scientific partners, Sea-Bird Electronics and WET Labs. Third party instruments can be integrated by creating an instrument file that defines the expected telemetry format.
The STOR-X is much more than a simple submersible data logger. It can be reconfigured as a real time stand-alone observatory with the addition of its optional data transfer option. Various options are available for STOR-X instruments within clusters; some are described within the LOBO or Benthic Pod Observatory Systems pages. Contact Satlantic support staff to see if a STOR-X can fill your observing system needs.
Also available is the STOR-X PLUS which has all of the features of the standard STOR-X but includes a fully integrated pressure transducer (0-300 psi), external temperature sensor (-2.5°C to 40°C), and a 0 - 45° pitch and roll sensor.
Optional Features:
- Real time data transfer via Cell Phone or Iridium Modem
- Integrated pitch, roll, temperature and pressure sensors available
- Master-slave and Network configurations available for clustering STOR-X and connected instruments.
- Observing platform options LOBO or Benthic Pod with OSS software available (LOBOviz) for LOBO.
