Introduction
Light, Portable and Independent Logging
With built-in temperature and humidity sensors, plus four external probe inputs the OM-
DAQLINK Series standalone data loggers ensure a low cost, reliable and accurate solution.
OM-DAQLINK Series data loggers are 16-bit, mobile data acquisition devices for continuous
indoor or outdoor data monitoring.
The OM-DAQLINK Series is comprised of two data logger models, measuring a broad range of
parameters on four external inputs for direct measurement and recording of PT-100,
thermocouple, 0 to 1 V, 4 to 20 mA, contact, frequency and pulse sensors, as well as internal
temperature and relative humidity sensors.
With its high resolution and fast Analog to Digital converter (ADC), OM-DAQLINK Series data
loggers meet the majority of data acquisition requirements in most industrial applications. Every
OM-DAQLINK Series data logger is embedded with a unique serial number and can be loaded
with a descriptive comment for safe identification. An internal clock and calendar keeps track of
the time and date of every sample measured.
OM-DAQLINK Series data loggers can automatically activate external alarm events when data
is outside a specified range. Email and SMS notifications can be sent to predefined contacts.
OM-DAQLINK key benefits include:

Real-time logging - Online operation with data results on screen

Independence - Manual or PC operation with on-site monitoring via two-row LCD display

Intuitively - Simple keypad and easy-to-navigate menus

Long life - Low-power consumption and rechargeable battery lasting up to six months

Flexibility - Four alarm levels with visual LCD, and audible alarms

Non-stop logging - Continuous data storage to large onboard memory and periodic USB
downloads
DataSuite Software Support
The OM-DAQLINK system is powered by the powerful DataSuite software. The Windows 
based software is the central management interface of the OM-DAQLINK network. When
connected via USB cable to the PC, OM-DAQLINK data can be monitored online and displayed
in real-time graphs or tables. Analyze data with various mathematical tools, or export data to a
spreadsheet.
The software also enables you to configure, calibrate or update the firmware of OM-DAQLINK
units via direct USB connection.
DataSuite provides one software platform for a wide range of Omega products in addition to the
OM-DAQLINK data loggers, such as the OM-DATANET wireless system and OM-MICROLITE
and OM-MICROLOGPRO portable, standalone loggers. DataSuite lets you monitor and
compare data from multiple systems in a singular, uniform view.
