Software

AFC Ingenieros offers software for the acquisition and processing of air pollution data.

Data Acquisition System

The software acquires data from various analysers, allowing the calculation of averages and statistics, as well as the subsequent sending of the processed data to other servers or a data processing centre (DPC).

The software has the following functionalities:

Analogue input processing (Voltage, Current, Resistance).
Processing of digital inputs (RS-232, Ethernet).
Storage of configurable averages.
Storage of statistics (maximum, minimum, deviation).
Data validation at source.
Graphical representation of data.
List representation of the data.
In the versions in which the communication with the equipment is digital, it is also possible:
- Storage of the status of the equipment.
- Storage of alarms.
- Remote operation of the equipment.
- Relocation of stations.

Data Exploitation Software

This software is designed to exploit data from multiple stations from a central server or CPD.

The software consists of several modules, which are detailed below:

Data: It allows importing and exporting data from the different stations.
Validation: Validates data both manually and automatically and sends the changes made to the DPC.
Graphs: Displays graphs of each of the station parameters and exports them as images or pdf.
Reports: Generates reports automatically from the data received.
Configuration: Allows the configuration of stations and equipment, as well as the connection to the DPCs.

Metrology

AFC Ingenieros offers services in the installation, supply, maintenance, operation and calibration of meteorological towers.

Products

In addition to calibration, AFC Ingenieros distributes measuring equipment of different magnitudes and different companies. It mainly distributes electrical equipment of different brands: CHAUVIN ARNOUX, FLUKE, TEKTRONIX, ROHDE & SWARTZ.
