RADLINK

Capabilities
 
The remote control package enables the RAD7 to be controlled from a distance by sending commands through the built-in serial port. This package makes all the ordinary RAD7 keypad commands available through a remote device connected to the serial port. Using a remote terminal or computer you may, for example, change the RAD7's operation parameters, start a test, stop a test, or receive data from the RAD7. The package permits users to implement automated communication between the RAD7 and computing equipment for the purpose of remote centralized data collection or control.
 
RADLINK also provides several additional functions, not otherwise available. For instance, with RADLINK you can change the baud rate, download a spectrum, download the entire data stored in the RAD7 with a single command, and control relays directly from the RAD7.
 
RADLINK resides in non-volatile memory, but does not decrease the amount of memory available for storing radon data.
 
The most simple implementation of remote control is through a direct wire link from the RAD7 to a personal computer or terminal. This requires a serial null-modem cable from the RAD7 to the serial port connector on the computer or terminal. A 6 ft null-modem cable is supplied, standard, with every RAD7.
 
The simple, direct serial port to serial port connection has a range limited to around 50 feet (15 meters) by the RS-232-C standard. Options for extending this range include RS-232 line boosters, current-loop and other types of interface converters, short-haul modems, and leased-line modems. You may use standard data modems to communicate over the telephone system to one or more remote RAD7 monitors, so that when you want to get some data or start a new run, just "dial up" the instrument of your choice.
