Allegro QX Field Data PC by American Innovations
Description
This ruggedized PC is a complete solution for the pipeline survey technician for applications that span production, midstream, transmission, and distribution. The integrated digital volt meter and GPS with the bundled suite of applications fully support periodic surveys including: facilities, leak, atmospheric, and valve. Indirect surveys include: close interval, DCVG, ACVG, ACCA, and Soil Resistivity. All surveys can be GPS time sync’d to your current interruption schedule. The RFID pen accessory can uniquely identify facility locations from tags as well as log visits to the tags for positive audit support.
