WIFI version of CUSP-Me released
CSI's first off-the-shelf wireless multi-channel data acquisition system has been
released, with the first two units destined for use in New Zealands rugged backcountry
monitoring land slides and major plate-boundary faults. The CUSP-Me-WiFi uses the same Ethernet based
sensor nodes as the CUSP-Me, which, as well as accepting standard CUSP accelerometers, will also service
a wide range of other sensors such as weather stations, displacement sensors,
strain and depth gauges. The central core is supplied in a small weathertight unit and includes
the WiFi base station and provision for the direct connection of two local 3-channel sensor nodes and the GPS unit.

Revision 2 of the CUSP M released, CUSP-Me
CSI are pleased to announce the release of the second revision of the CUSP-M multichannel
data acquisition system. The second revision represents a significant change in the
multi-channel data acquisition paradigm, with the digitisation, timing and buffering of
data being performed at each sensor node. This, in combination with TCP-IP data transfers
over standard Ethernet systems, results in unmatched data robustness, flexibility of deployment
and vastly reduced installation cost and effort. This revision
is compatable with the current range of sensors, including accelerometers, borehole
probes, LVDT displacement sensors and Vaisala wind monitoring equipment. The first units were
shipped in April this year and the product is now available on the market.
