RITTER Data Acquisition Software »RIGAMO« for Microsoft Windows is used for data acquisition of gas volume and flow rate from up to 18 RITTER Gas Meters. Supports graphical and tabular display of measurement data and export of stored data to Microsoft Excel.

Features

General
  • Unified Windows® software for measurement data acquisition from RITTER products
  • Support for multi-core processors
  • Windows® software for data acquisition of gas volume and flow rate from up to 18 RITTER Gas Meters to a PC USB port
  • Graphical and tabular display of measurement data in real-time
  • Normalization of measurement data by compensation of:
    1. temperature
    2. pressure
    3. humidity
  • Storage of measurement data in both SD card (built into Signal Interface Module »SIM«) and PC
  • Data Acquisition even during failure of mains power supply
  • Export of stored data to Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet


Please note: »RIGAMO« can only started once at a time on a single PC.


No support of bi-directional recognition of the measuring drum rotation with Pulse Generator V4.01

The Signal Input Module »SIM« required for data acquisition is not approved for use in ex-proof areas!


Measurement of Gas Volume
  • Data acquisition of gas volume and flow rate from up to 18 RITTER Gas Meters
  • Measurement of gas temperature for recalculation to norm temperature (normalization)
    Please note: With the current version of the Signal Interface Module »SIM« only a single temperature probe can be connected to one »SIM« unit.
  • Measurement of atmospheric pressure for recalculation to norm pressure (normalization)
  • Compensation of humidity
  • Automatic correction of measurement data on the basis of the individual calibration curve: »Dynamic Correction of Measurement Error« (MilliGascounter only)
Operation with Biogas Batch Fermentation System »BBFS«
  • Temperature Control of Heating Oven
  • Speed Control of stirring units of fermentation bottle incl. interval mode
  • Real-time status of CO2 absorption for up to 18 CO2 absorption bottles (with optional accessory »CO2 Absorption System« of Biogas Batch Fermentation System »BBFS«):
  • Display of current CO2 absorption capacity for each absorption bottle
  • Display of remaining CO2 absorption for each absorption bottle
  • Alarm function for each absorption bottle if CO2 absorption capacity falls below a freely selectable level
