Atlas’s next generation weathering testing technology, Weather-Ometers, gets a boost from the company’s launch of WXView II, an innovative data acquisition system for remote connectivity.
Users of the WXView II web-based application can remotely monitor the status of their instruments from anywhere in the world. The app collects data inputs such as test parameters and control system data in real time from any Atlas Ci4400 instrument that users connect to their local area networks.
"WXView II adds a new dimension of connectivity to our instruments,” said Matt McGreer, Atlas senior

The WXView II application presents a simple review and analysis of the instrument data in an easy-to-use graphical format. Detailed analysis and generated reports can be created using archived test data that can be viewed, downloaded and imported into other applications. The touchscreen user interface can also display instrument status, information on alarms, maintenance and instrument configuration.
The WXView II system includes a number of features:
- Access from anywhere with a secure internet connection via the web-based application
- Data collection and storage on a local area network or in the cloud
- Built-in encryption
- View of current operating parameters
- Monitoring of test progress and instrument status
- Zoom in and out for assessment of phase transitions or complete test cycles
- Access to alarms and maintenance tables
- Downloadable archived test data
- Unlimited connectivity to PCs and Weather-Ometers on the network
