Welcome to viewLinc 4.1, a key element in the Vaisala
Veriteq Continuous Monitoring System (CMS). Using
viewLinc you can easily monitor device readings locally on a
PC or across a network using a supported version of
Microsoft
® Internet Explorer ® or from mobile devices like
the iPhone

. Your
administrator will determine the best way to install viewLinc
for your needs.
With viewLinc 4.1, you can:
• Monitor remote conditions in multiple languages from
multiple devices from a local or remote PC desktop
• View real-time data in a customizable graphical format
• Generate historical data and alarm reports
• Receive visual or email alarms when conditions you are
monitoring are out of compliance or if there is a network
communication problem
• Analyze automatically documented device events, such as
when alarms are triggered, acknowledged or there are
device communication problems
• Schedule transfers of Vaisala Veriteq device data (also
referred to as ‘historical data’) to be viewed and graphed
with the vLog software
• Easily identify devices and the zones in which they
operate
• Create preconfigured comments for alarm notifications
• Check readings and acknowledge alarms from your
mobile device
