Product catalog summary
Overview
The IMS4 Observer Workstation is part of the Integrated Meteorological System by MicroStep-MIS, designed for interfacing with automatic weather stations like the AMS 111 model or third-party data loggers. It facilitates continuous data measurement, processing, and archiving, with real-time data display and export capabilities.

Specifications
The system supports various sensors and data loggers, measuring a wide range of meteorological quantities such as temperature, wind speed, pressure, humidity, precipitation, radiation, and more. It interfaces through RS232/RS422, RS485, SDI-12, TCP/IP, and UDP, with data collection via network, radio, USB, or satellite.

Data Presentation
IMS4 Observer supports WMO codes (SYNOP, METAR, etc.) and data exchange over GTS & AFTN networks. It uses XML & XSLT for data processing and XML2SQL for data archiving. The system allows 2D/3D web presentation and data export in various formats.

Alarms
The system includes configurable alarms for diagnostics, quality control, operational thresholds, and communication errors.

Configuration
The software is customizable via XML configuration files, allowing setup for station metadata, data logger parameters, communication lines, and web presentation.

Remote Access
A built-in web server provides remote access for data maintenance and software upgrades.

System Requirements
The system requires a standard Intel® PC compatible with Linux or MS Windows XP/Vista/7/8 operating systems.

Catalog excerpts

IMS Observer Workstation-1

Integrated Meteorological System IMS4 is MicroStepMIS open meteorological system, suitable for building of national meteorological networks, airport weather systems, and meteorological stations for commercial use. IMS4 Observer Workstation is the version of Integrated Meteorological System application software designed to interface the automatic weather station MicroStep-MIS AMS 111 model or a 3rd party data logger. It performs continuous measurement and/or data collection from the connected automatic weather station, data processing (quality control, recalculations), and archiving. IMS4 provides the user with the real-time screen displaying the current data, as well as modules for data export into Microsoft Excel / OpenOffice.Org Calc, and for displaying the data time series in the form of charts. The IMS4 Observer Workstation supports WMO codes (SYNOP, METAR, etc.), as well as data protocols and formats for data exchange over GTS & AFTN networks or other media (asynchronous lines, dial-up lines, FTP, PPP, e-mail). An integrated part of the IMS4 Observer Workstation system is a built-in web server providing access to the data over the intranet/Internet.
