Brief description:
Devices that use GPS to locate an object and a GSM channel to send data to the user have become widely used lately. With GPS trackers, you can create a vehicle tracking system that allows you to track the entire route of a car or another vehicle. Besides information about the location, a GPS tracker can use additional sensors to send data about fuel consumption, traveled distance, velocity, and car alarm.
It works in the following way: the GPS tracking unit uses a GPS or GLONASS receiver to determine its coordinates. The tracker reads data from sensors and generates a data packet containing all information about the vehicle. Then it uses the GSM transmitter or the GPRS data transfer channel to send the information packet to the server.
Our program GPS Tracker Data Logger acts as the server and allows you to collect data from an unlimited number of various GPS trackers simultaneously. The obtained data is processed, uniformed, and written to a log file or a database. Also, the program has a set of interfaces, so other applications can get data in real-time.
Besides, GPS Tracker Data Logger can convert data into other formats (the formats of other trackers) and send them to other servers. It allows you to connect previously unsupported devices to existing systems or view data from heterogeneous GPS trackers with the help of integrated client software.
What problems can be solved with GPS Tracker Data Logger?
The advantages of using GPS vehicle tracking systems are undeniable. They allow you to considerably reduce your company's expenses due to reduced expenditure on deviations from the route and prevented personal use of company vehicles.
Our program allows you to reduce the amount of client and server software being used, thanks to the possibility of receiving and process data from various trackers. One configuration can process data only from one type of GPS trackers. To connect another tracker type, you need to create a new configuration using the button with a green plus sign on it in the main window or clone an existing one.
Getting started is easy. GPS Tracker Data Logger is ready!
The software installation wizard can create a basic configuration where you will be able to make all necessary changes. To make these changes, start GPS Tracker Data Logger from the "Start - Programs" menu. Select a configuration from the drop-down list and click one of the buttons near it. You can select the parser for your tracker on the "Plug-ins - Query Parse Filter" tab. If necessary, configure export to the database using one of the plug-ins on the "Plug-ins - Data Export" tab.
Features:
Various types of GPS trackers. Receiving, processing and exporting data from a lot of various GPS trackers at the same time;
Universality. Receiving and processing binary and ASCII data packets;
Receipt confirmation. GPS Tracker Data Logger can send data receipt confirmation packets to the GPS tracker;
Advanced log file configuration. Logging received data to a file without any modification. A wide range of formatting log files (by time, date, etc.);
Conversion. It is possible to convert data from all trackers to one format and retransmit them to another server (on request);
Export to databases. Exporting data in real-time to any ODBC-compatible database (MS SQL, MySQL, Oracle, MS Access, Interbase, Firebird, and others);
Integration. Plug-ins for writing to databases can work with tables of any structure. For special purposes, it is possible to write custom SQL queries, for example, for writing data to with the help of stored procedures;
