Connection of Essentim data loggers
The Labordatenbank is able to connect various devices such as data loggers. The connection of Essentim loggers, more accurate the Essentim Cloud, is described here in order to uniformly collect and display the data in the Labordatenbank.
Before the connection of the Essentim loggers/cloud can be started, they must first be set up with the company Essentim.
