Abstract

An intelligent measurement acquisition system is introduced. The integration of microprocessor, memory and modem at the installation site makes it possible to transmit signals from temperature and aerosol sensors to a security control center via the public telephone network. This concept is eminently suited for reducing the data volume because only the relevant information concerning status changes in an environment that exceed a preset threshold is stored. By analyzing the data it is possible to assess the performance of sensor technologies in specific environments and to evaluate new signal processing concepts.
