Description

The Neoptix OptiLink-II software allows using your fiber optic temperature monitoring system in a highly flexible manner. OptiLink-II features direct data logging of the temperature information acquired by the signal conditioners and also the full remote control of up to four instruments using a PC.

OptiLink-II is the ideal tool to program signal conditioners that do not have a web server feature: it is the ideal tool to avoid parameter entry using the local instrument keypad, or tedious ASCII serial commands.

The Neoptix OptiLink built-in functions allow to adjust the refreshing rate and the scale of the information displayed. Moreover, channel can be individually enabled and customized by the user. For example, each probe can have its own name, description and color.

Neoptix OptiLink-II features direct data logging onto a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, saving the task of converting files into Excel native file format. Data can also be saved to a variety of standard formats.

OptiLink-II supports simultaneously the acquisition of the temperature data from up to 4 independent signal conditioners on 4 different serial ports (COM1 to COM32). Each one of these thermometers is connected to a PC COM ports through a RS-232C, RS-485, or USB serial interface. Acquisition and real-time temperature graphing is also possible using the Ethernet interface of the T/Guard-408XT.

The OptiLink-II software also provides a graphical user interface for the setup and configuration for the supported signal conditioners (COM port only). Among many other features, OptiLink allows the configuration of the span and zero baseline of analog outputs on each channel of the signal conditioners. Neoptix OptiLink-II allows for probe correction for offsets or punctual calibrations.

OptiLink-II is currently compatible with all Neoptix instruments, except the original T/Guard 2 system. It runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems (from XP to 10).
