Programming
PTT's can be programmed with up to 10 unique, user defined seasons that will control the transmit duty cycles to the Argos satellites. The seasons are defined by the number ON/OFF hours and how many times to repeat a season duty cycle before proceeding on to the next season. This flexibility will allow the user to methodically balance the amount of location data desired, PTT power consumption & satellite airtime costs.
Software
Included software decodes transmitted messages from PTT that is received by Argos system. The software stores all data in an database for easy data storage, viewing & data manipulation. All location & sensor data can be exported into Excel & CSV data file formats. Additionally GPS/Doppler fix locations can be exported into the KML & Shapefile formats that can be viewed in Google Earth™ or ESRI GIS software.
Construction
The PTT enclosure is constructed from an FR4 glass-reinforced epoxy composite material which is very durable and light weight. As a part of the finishing process, the PTT undergoes a process that effectively displaces unwanted elements that can lead to moisture and corrosion. The PTT is then hermetically sealed.
