Data is collected from Vaisala monitoring devices connected directly to your network - wired
or wireless data loggers and transmitters. Additional devices may be connected to your
network, such as Vaisala or non-Vaisala Modbus-enabled environmental monitoring equipment, or
signal towers.
Your viewLinc license
defines the number of monitoring devices (data loggers/transmitters/Vaisala Modbus devices)
that can be added. An additional Modbus license is required to add non-Vaisala Modbus
devices.See Help > About to view your current licensed options.
