Software for automatic retrieval of dial-up stations and data conversion.The primary task of the DEMASole software is to automatically call up online stations at fixed, predefined times. DEMASole also easily handles the often critical time shifts, e.g. the change from summer to winter time. If required, DEMASole converts the read data files into a specific or suitable output format and stores them in a freely definable target directory. From there, the data can then be received and further processed by external programs (e.g. DEMASdb) or process control systems. .
