Application for animal observation
Supported:
- Amplifier DAD141.1 and weigh cells / Hauch & Bach (Denmark)
The automated Scale is used to measure the weight of different organisms (animals). The All-in-One DAD 141.1 is a universal device for any weighing, filling or loss-in-weight operation and for force measurements. It is switched ON or OFF together with the RFID_Reader. Scales uses the amplifier DAD 141.1 which handles automatic tare and measurement. Amplifier and Scales are powered by one of the Power_Outputs, usually UA2. Use variable SCALES_POWER to select the power output.
An efficient application to monitor and control animal behaviour in wildlife as well as in laboratory settings
- Compatible with different RFID systems
- Low power consumption and specific data collection lead to long lasting collection periods
- Applicable world-wide due to its compatibility with different types of radio clock receivers
- High observation quality through low disturbance of the animals
- Data-transfer to external devices, such as personal computers
- Time Synchronization with atomic clock once a day to ensure optimal data quality
- Application Current Control twice a day
- Forecast for Battery-Change implemented
- Energy Bypass so that Date and Time are maintained even when changing battery
- Hyperterminal Output to get real-time data to the computer/laptop
