    Sensors

    Take temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure readings once per minute.

  • 02

    Data protocols

    The data is collected at one minute intervals and is stored within the QMS Pad database for each client. This data is then used to chart the temperature and humidity log over time. Upper and lower limits are managed in QMS Pad system settings. Notifications are generated for readings outside user-defined tolerances.
