We’re back – after the attack!

General

End of last Week we had a severe attack to this website. Thanks to our monitoring systems the attack was detected befor maluse could start. There was a backdoor in the newsletter module. We had to turn off the newsletter module and cannot provide any newsletter right now. We apologize for the inconvenience.

 

How much is integration?

General

Sensors translate environmental values into data. The result is called measurement value. But measurement value have to fulfil certain purposes an thus undergo a complex transformation process: scaling, checking, comparing, transforming, storing, reporting,…

We compare 3 methods how this transformation processcan be organized. As an example we take the temperature documentation of a climate chamber in a database.

Method 1: USB data logger with pc software

Method 2: individual application written for database integration

Method 3: Integration using the Lufft I-BOX
