I DURHAM GEO 39 SLOPE INDICATOR 95 <br />• <br />Application <br />Argus Monitoring Software provides <br />a fast, reliable, and cost-effective <br />way to process and distribute data <br />collected from sensors at a site. <br />• <br />• <br />Operation Overview <br />Argus runs on a web server and looks <br />like a web site. It can operate on the <br />internet, on a company intranet, and <br />even on a stand-alone computer. <br />Users work with Argus via their web <br />browsers and click on links to access <br />data and graphs. <br />Certain users have rights to set up <br />Argus projects, graphs, reports, and <br />alarms. Once a project is set up, <br />Argus is ready for data. <br />In most cases, a PC, either on site or <br />rernote, will retrieve readings from the <br />loggers at the site and forward data <br />files to the Argus site. Data that is not <br />logged automatically can be entered <br />manually using a web browser. <br />Argus scans incoming readings for <br />alarm conditions and then stores the <br />readings in the project database. <br />Now Argus is ready to present data. <br />When users log on, graphs and <br />reports are just a few clicks away. <br />Data Presentation <br />Plan Views let users see at a glance <br />the status of every sensor at the site. <br />Created from site drawings or photo- <br />graphs, plan views have an overlay of <br />small colored boxes, each indicating <br />the location of a sensor and its cur- <br />rent reading. The boxes change color <br />to indicate alarms. Plan views are <br />refreshed automatically. <br />Time Plots show sensor data against <br />tirne. All plots generated by Argus <br />can be printed or saved for use in <br />documents. It is also possible to <br />download the data used in the plots. <br />Correlation Plots show one series of <br />data values plotted against another <br />series of data values. <br />Profile Plots show displacement <br />data from inclinometers and beam <br />sensors. <br />Reports include a cover page and <br />selected data, graphs, and remarks. <br />Reports can be emailed to users on a <br />daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. <br />Data Downloads lets users specify <br />one or more sensors, a date range, <br />and the data separator needed for <br />their spreadsheets. <br />Alarm Notifications are sent by <br />email, which can be fowarded by fax, <br />cell phone text messaging, pager. <br />and voice mail, where these services <br />are available. <br />Advantages <br />Argus never sleeps: Argus is at <br />work 24 hours a day. It scans for <br />alarm conditions, processes data on <br />demand, and always presents the <br />most current information available. <br />Argus is web-enabled: With Argus, <br />data and graphs are available any- <br />where there is an internet connection: <br />at work, at home, at the client's <br />office, or half-way around the world. <br />Argus is efficient: Argus automates <br />and standardizes data processing <br />and presentation, so results are fast, <br />reliable, and immediately available. <br />Argus is familiar: Most users need <br />no training at all, since they already <br />know how to use web browsers. <br />Argus provides continuity: Argus <br />keeps sensor calibrations, process- <br />ing routines, and data in a secure, <br />central location. Services that <br />depend on Argus are not affected by <br />workplace events such as computer <br />crashes or changes in personnel. <br />Argus is affordable: Argus Central <br />is a web service with monthly plans <br />sized to match your projects. <br />Argus Enterprise can be licensed for <br />a single project or for multiple <br />projects and is ideal for organizations <br />that wish to host Argus themselves. <br />Argus Web-Based Monitoring
