ADAPS is a PC application (for computers with Windows) for monitoring systems, which allows visualization of measurements (map of objects (labels on graphics), tables, plots), data archiving (measurements, alarms, events) and alarming (also via e-mail). Due to its functionality and versatility, the ADAPS program is ideal for budget as well as complex monitoring systems with multiple measurement points. ADAPS software is available in four variants:
ADAPS [DEMO]
Free version of ADAPS software, designed to work only with one device (monitoring up to 9 parameters). Besides this limitation, ADAPS [DEMO] has all the features of ADAPS [STANDARD].
ADAPS [STANDARD]
The most popular version of the ADAPS system that supports up to 200 measuring devices with an RS-485 (MODBUS RTU) and/or Ethernet (MODBUS TCP) interface. Data from measuring devices, information about alarms and events are saved to * .CSV files on the disk.
ADAPS [STANDARD] has additional functions, including alarming about exceedances or errors in communication (including e-mail messages) and generating test alarms (also e-mail messages). Data is represented in the form of the so-called “Site maps”, display tables and charts. The advantage of the program is the ability to add users with different access rights to the program.

ADAPS [DATABASE]
ADAPS [WWW]
ADAPS [WWW] is an extended version of ADAPS [DATABASE], which generates (with a specified time interval, eg every 15 minutes) a static website with a table containing current measurement values and alarms. The automatically generated page can be sent via FTP to any hosting. The advantage of this solution is the fact that it does not require a dedicated server, but only a standard hosting and any domain or subdomain.

ADPAS [IDAPS]
ADAPS Viewer
ADAPS Viewer is an inseparable part of the ADAPS [DATABASE] and ADAPS [WWW] applications, which enables the visualization of current data and the reports generation from archived data stored in the database. ADAPS Viewer is delivered free of charge with the appropriate version of the ADAPS application. The program’s main advantage is its ease of use, which is appreciated by users. Most of the settings are yesen from the project in ADAPS ([DATABASE] or [WWW]) so that the reports generated by different system users are consistent.
