• Sutron WIN Data Service

  Sutron WIN (Weather/Water Information Network) is a data service for organizations that need to collect and use hydro-meteorologic data, but do not have the resources to manage the complex processes required for data acquisition, decoding, storage, etc.

  This is ideal if ...

  • You have a small number of Data Collection Platforms
  • You have limited computing resources
  • You don’t want the hassle of purchasing, installing, and maintaining a ground system
  • You want a low-cost alternative for data collection

  Through the Sutron WIN Service, we collect your station-data and deliver it to you via web. We can deliver raw data (as it is transmitted by the station), or we can decode it for you into engineering units. Our decoder can present the data in a wide variety of commonly used formats such as SHEF, Kisters ZRXP, Comma-Separated Value (CSV), Excel, USGS STDMSG, HTML, XML, Pi Historian, and several others. We also provide:

  • Your own customized web page
  • Dynamic Web Reports (tables, plots, bar charts)
  • Computations (discharge ratings, periodic aggregates, etc.)
  • Limit Checks & Alarm Reports via text, voice, or email
    

• Tempest Data Acquisition Server (DAS)

  The DAS (formerly known as LRGS) now supports data reception via LRIT, DOMSAT, GOES-DRGS, NOAAPORT, GPRS, Iridium, Direct-IP, Radio, and Internet. It is a universal receiver that can provide unlimited local storage for your raw station data. It provides the de-facto standard DDS (DCP Data Service) network protocol for distributing data to your processing applications.

  We can provide complete turnkey receivers including dish, receiver, computer and electronics. Or we can provide the DAS software-only for you to install on your own equipment.

• Data Acquisition for GOES DCS

  Our Tempest DAS was originally designed to support the GOES Data Collection System. There are several satellite and internet services that broadcast GOES DCS data. We can provide a system that meets your data-collection needs and fits into your budget.

• Tempest™ DCS Toolkit

  The DCS Toolkit is a suite of software that allows you to retrieve DCP data over the internet from any of the following:
  

  • Any Data Acquisition Server or LRGS
  • Public Servers at USGS EDDN in Sioux Falls, ND
  • Public DCP Data Servers at Wallops, VA

  The toolkit is 100% Java and will run on any modern OS. It provides a low-cost reliable means of acquiring DCS data in near real-time.

  The DECODES Module is included with the DCS Toolkit. It is a universal converter for DCP data. In can extract time-tagged engineering-unit samples from any DCP. It handles fixed format or delimited data equally well. It can present data in SHEF, SHEFIT, Human-Readable, EMIT-ASCII and other formats. It is written in 100% pure Java so it will run on any modern computing platform.

• HydroMet Analysis System
  

  The HydroMet Analysis System stores your decoded data in a SQL Time Series Database. The schema is simple and efficient, capable of storing several years worth of your decoded data on-line. A powerful computation module handles derived parameters such as USGS ratings, table-lookup, interpolation, averaging, and user-defined equations. We provide tools for limit and rate-of-change alarms, import/export, spreadsheet-access, plotting, and custom applications.
