Data can be fetched in many different ways. Airviro can handle data collection via telephone modems, GSM modems, radio modems, GPRS and TCP/IP (network). The preferred way of fetching data is to have the Airviro system to actively contact a station and fetch data in order to have full control over the communication process.
Different instruments and loggers use different communication protocols. The actual communication protocol is a plug-in module that handles the data collection for each specific type of instrument or logger. Airviro has a wide range of protocols implemented (see Data Collection) and it is also possible to extend this by developing new protocols.
Administration
The Indico Administration module allows the users to administrate and configure different aspects of the time series database storage, automatic checks, post processing and data collection.
