STS4 | CORE DATA LOGGER
Introduction
The STS4 Core Data Logger is a ruggedized, custom-built industrial computer designed to facilitate data acquisition in the harshest of environments. The Core Data Loggers are field-proven to provide continuous and reliable operation for structural monitoring applications. The Core Data Loggers are preconfigured to run the STS-CORE application that processes all raw data from our distributed data acquisition hardware. An STS4 Core Data Logger is typically delivered along with a turn-key structural monitoring system.
Image Description: The STS4 Core Data Logger is a compact, rugged, dark grey industrial computer with multiple ports on the front and back, including USB, Ethernet, and display outputs. The top surface features the "STS4 CORE DATA LOGGER" branding and a model number "CDL-008".

Data Processing Modes
TREND DATA
Captures statistical readings at a lower data rate for the purposes of viewing long-term trend data.
EVENT DATA
Captures higher-speed blocks of data based on a triggered threshold, typically from one or more sensors. Data is recorded pre- and post-trigger and customizable.
RAINFLOW
Captures stress cycle counts and binned into user-defined stress ranges using ASTM E 1049-85.
LIVE-LOAD
The system can be configured to run live-load tests, essentially a means to capture real-time data at the user-defined sample rate.
FREQUENCY
Raw data can be processed into the frequency domain and recorded. Frequency modes can be binned similar to RAINFLOW mode or used to calculate cable forces.
