SPOTPro

SPOTPro, an advanced software utility, provides a single control point to configure, store and view data for up to 40 SPOT infrared pyrometers.

Giving a complete overview of all the SPOT thermometers connected to your network, SPOTPro allows you to independently configure data logging for each thermometer, by setting automatic triggers for data storage.

SPOTPro allows users to compare live and historical data to trend and diagnose process issues. Data can be logged to an SQLite database for easy configuration or an MS SQL Server database for enterprise-level data requirements. All data can be exported to CSV or XML for integration into other processes or further processing in applications such as MS Excel.

SPOTPro supports a flexible window layout with multiple monitor support – see all the data that is most important to you prominently on screen at once.

Suitable for plants using two or more SPOT products, SPOTPro software is used to manage multiple thermometers in industries including Power Generation, Aluminium, Steel and Industrial Processing. A free 30-day trial is available for download now.

Key Features

• Control Multiple SPOT Thermometers: Giving a complete overview of all the SPOT pyrometers connected to your network, SPOTPro allows you to independently configure data logging for each thermometer, by setting automatic triggers for data storage. This allows customised criteria to be set for data measurements during important events.
• Flexible User Interface: SPOTPro supports a flexible window layout with multiple monitor support - see all the data that is most important to you prominently on screen at once.
• Richer Data Analysis: SPOTPro allows users to compare live and historical data to trend and diagnose process issues. Switching between live and historical data enables a comprehensive review and analysis of your measurements. Data can be logged to a SQLite database for easy configuration or an MS SQL Server database for enterprise-level data requirements. All data can be exported to CSV or XML for integration into other processes or further processing in applications such as MS Excel.
• Multiple I/O Options: Connect and configure multiple I/O modules. Define Data Pairs on I/O modules and Modbus interface, based on trigger and in/out events.
• Simple to Install & Run: Installation requires a single PC (exact requirements are dependent on the number of thermometers) running Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.

SPOTViewer

A free PC utility for SPOT infrared pyrometers, allowing configuration, display and logging of data.

Compatible with all SPOT pyrometer products, SPOTViewer software package enables easy control and analysis of your measurements from a Windows PC.

Ideally suited to small plants where advanced process control systems are absent, SPOTViewer configures, display and logs data from a single location.

An intuitive user interface presents data in a graphical view, making sophisticated analysis of trends and patterns simple – ensuring highly detailed process optimisation decisions can be made.

For use with PC and laptops using Windows 7 SP2 and higher, SPOTViewer software works with SPOT products used in Power Generation, Aluminium, Steel and Industrial Processing applications.

Key Features

• Intuituve Interface: View temperature data and activated alarm status, change SPOT settings, and capture images from the pyrometer viewfinder from your PC screen.
• Total Control from any location: There’s no need to be present at the thermometer location if you’re using SPOTViewer. Get complete control over your temperature measurements, and make easy configurations to your pyrometer or actuator, from any connected PC running the software.
• Trend View & Analysis: Live and recorded temperature trend data delivers detailed information about each data point at a frequency of up to 1ms. Statistical analysis is available to calculate the minimum, average and maximum values, and the rate of change, for each temperature trend.
• Data Logging: Log temperature data directly to CSV (comma separated value) or TSV (tab separated value) files for easy import and analysis in spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel. Log temperatures to an XML file for integration into wider control systems. Log temperature data only when a configurable threshold is triggered to easily discover and analyse faults in your process.
• Scan Graph: Control your actuator directly from a PC – trigger a scan, move the actuator’s position and change device settings directly within SPOTViewer. Overlay multiple scan results on the Scan Graph to easily compare target temperature profiles.
