Allegro CX & MX Field Data PC™
by American Innovations

Electronically collects Cathodic Protection (CP) data,
GPS coordinates, and other pipeline filed data.

Description

American Innovation's Allegro Field Data PC is a must for companies in the oil and gas pipeline industry. By combining instrumentation and pipeline-specific software into one integrated tool, the Allegro improves both the productivity and accuracy of a company’s pipeline management program.

The Allegro allows corrosion technicians to collect Cathodic Protection (CP) data, GPS coordinates and other pipeline field data, and transport and download this information directly into a data management system. Additional data processing and analysis functions have been integrated into the unit, allowing for the manipulation of data while the user is still in the field.

As a result the Allegro Field Data PC can perform multiple tasks such as corrosion data collection and analysis, form data entry, data processing, as well as GPS coordinate line mapping.
