Description
SensGate: Thanks to robust Wi-Fi & Ethernet capabilities, you can seamlessly access data from your Dracal sensors as if they were right next to you.
The SensGate is a simple-to-operate multi-functional unit. It allows you to seamlessly remotely connect one or more USB Dracal Technologies sensors and see them as if they were connected directly to a USB port on your computer—all without drivers or additional hardware. By using our data acquisition DracalView software, you can operate your SensGates while taking advantage of all the features the software already offers. With just a few clicks, you can simultaneously access, visualize, and log data from all sensors connected to your computer, HUB, and SensGates.
In addition to its seamless connectivity, its onboard data logging functionality allows you to view and save your data locally on the device, providing desirable redundancy for your valuable data. With 3 gigabytes of dedicated flash data memory, your SensGate can record data for months without network access. All you need is a power source. The SensGate will automatically resume your recording task following a sudden power outage without corrupting the log file.
For those who want to integrate their data with their own systems, we have thought of you. A set of intuitive tools is at your disposal so that you can fully control your data flow, including a REST API for Dracal sensors that operate under COM protocol. To maintain our promise of precision, advanced data synchronization and delay correction algorithms ensure that Dracal instrument data coming from multiple sources are all synchronized for robust and reliable time stamping.
What does the SensGate allow you to do?
- Start recording data in less than 3 minutes
- Observe, in real-time, from your computer, the course of a process
- Seamlessly view, graph, save and download data on-site or remotely
- Create your private communication network
- Integrate the data in real-time in your own software base
- Store and view data stored on the SensGate using its built-in web server
- Access your data by USB, Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection

Do you have STEP/CAD files of your instruments?
You can find them on each instrument page under the Datasheets tab if available.
Are your sensors battery-powered?
No, they are not. They are powered via the USB plug; therefore, they must be plugged in to transmit data.

What are the advantages of choosing a calibratable instrument (-CAL option)?
The devices with the 3-point calibration mechanism have a longer lifetime as it is possible to compensate for the natural drift of the measurements. The cost/lifetime ratio is thus considerably reduced and, just as importantly, this choice is environmental friendly.
These devices can be easily calibrated and certified by external resources (including our ISO17025 certified partner laboratory) and allow you to synchronize your various devices between them.
What are the advantages of using your USB communicating devices over other technologies?
| 1. Connection security. | 6. Continuous power supply. |
| 2. Instant access to data. | 7. Low-power supply. |
| 3. Data confidentiality. | 8. Self-sufficiency. |
| 4. Data reliability. | 9. Technology persistence over time. |
| 5. Fast response time. | 10. Universal access. |
Can I use your measurement devices while maintaining my current software infrastructure?
Yes, you own your data. To integrate your data, you can either use our CLI (command line interface) for which we have plenty of code examples or for more advanced users, by choosing the VCP (Virtual COM Port) option when selecting your product.
How many devices can be simultaneously managed by your software tools?
Unlimited number of similar and different devices, provided your system supports the load.
