Features  

• Integrated Windows software for collecting measurement data from Ritter products
• Multi-core processor support
• Windows software for collecting gas volume and flow rate data from up to 18 Ritter Gas Meters to a PC USB port
• Displays measurement data in graphical and tabular form in real time
• Normalization of measurement data by the following methods:
  1. Temperature
  2. Pressure
  3. Humidity
• Measurement data is stored on both the SD card (built into the Signal Interface Module »SIM«) and the PC
• Data acquisition is possible even when the main power supply fails
• Export of stored data to Microsoft Excel spreadsheets

Please note: »RIGAMO« can only be started once at a time on a single PC. Bidirectional recognition of measurement drum rotation is not supported in Pulse Generator V4.01. The Signal Interface Module »SIM« required for data acquisition is not approved for use in explosion-proof areas!

Gas Volume Measurement   

• Collection of gas volume and flow rate data from up to 18 Ritter Gas Meters
• Gas temperature measurement for recalculation to standard temperature (normalization) Please note: In the current version of the Signal Interface Module »SIM«, only a single temperature probe can be connected to one »SIM« device.
• Atmospheric pressure measurement for recalculation to standard pressure (normalization)
• Humidity compensation
• Automatic correction of measurement data based on individual calibration curves: »Dynamic correction of measurement errors« (MilliGascounter only)

Biogas Batch Fermentation System »BBFS« Application 

• Temperature control of the heating oven
• Speed control of the stirring unit including fermentation bottle (interval mode)
• Real-time CO₂ absorption status for up to 18 CO₂ absorption bottles (with »CO₂ Absorption System«, an optional accessory of the Biogas Batch Fermentation System »BBFS«):
• Display of the current CO₂ absorption capacity of each absorption bottle
• Display of the remaining CO₂ absorption volume of each absorption bottle
• Alarm function for each absorption bottle when CO₂ absorption capacity falls below a freely selectable level
