The Archer-PCON and Archer-OBS are two versions of Juniper Systems' Archer Field PC with specialized software. The Archer-PCON is for interfacing to general Campbell Scientific data acquisition systems, and the Archer-OBS is for interfacing to our OBS-3A Turbidity and Temperature Monitoring System.
The Archer Field PC is ultrarugged, meaning you can be sure your data is safe—even in extreme environments. With an IP67 rating, the Archer is completely sealed against dust and water. And it won't break down or fail in extreme temperatures—it is constructed to operate in temperatures as cold as -30°C or as hot as 50°C. The Archer has been designed to withstand multiple drops onto concrete from 5 ft. Couple these features with a battery life of up to 20 hours and a screen designed for readability in direct sunlight, and you've got a handheld data collection device that won't let you down.
Archer-PCON
The Archer-PCON includes Campbell Scientific's PConnectCE Datalogger Support Software and the hardware required to connect the Archer to a Campbell Scientific datalogger. It is compatible with most Campbell dataloggers. PConnectCE software supports simple on-site functions, such as:
- Collecting data
- Monitoring real-time data
- Graphing historical data
- Controlling datalogger ports and flags
- Transferring datalogger programs
Archer-OBS
The Archer-OBS comes with Campbell's new OBS-Mobile software—versatile, easy-to-use software that allows the OBS-3A to communicate with the Archer. OBS-Mobile supports most functions of the standard OBS software, such as:
- Running a manual survey or profile
- Setting up the OBS-3A for extended deployment
- Collecting data
- Displaying real-time measurements
- Graphing data
- Transferring data to an office PC
