Configuring any Data Acquisition System (DAS) is a complicated process. Federal and local regulations evolve and require system-wide changes. While ESC Spectrum StackStudio provides users with an intuitive interface to make changes to their DAS, if you are new to the software, unclear on regulatory directives, or don’t have time or staff, our expert Engineering Services team can help. The Engineering team has configured thousands of DAS systems across the country and provides efficient and precise assistance. Our professionals can configure a DAS to your facility’s precise requirements, ensure it is updated, align it with the latest regulations, and make it work smoothly with your other resources. Contact us to talk about how we can best help you solve your configuration challenges. Read a summary of all our Engineering Services.

The DAS Evolution process ensures that your system is still in synch with your current needs. The Engineering team performs discovery, implementation, and documentation of a prioritized list of improvements and fixes to your DAS.
DAS Evolution is typically a two-day Engineering engagement that begins with a half-day review of the DAS and its daily processes. Both work together to create a prioritized list of improvements and fixes. An Engineer addresses as many items on this list as possible, and provides a follow-up list of remaining items. Read more about this service on the DAS Evolution information sheet.
Does your current DAS configuration comply with your permit? Permits can be unclear, personnel move on, and rules change over time. During the DAS Compliance Review process, the Engineering team helps you determine how far your configuration has moved out of alignment and will work with you to bring it back into compliance with your permit.
Also included are twenty hours of Engineering Services to implement as many changes as possible from your prioritized list based on the recommendations, plus a one-day Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) to review the changes. Read more about this service on the DAS Compliance Review information sheet.
The 8864 Data Controller is the powerful hardware bridge between StackVision software and your emissions monitoring rack. With a demonstrated Mean-Time-Between-Failure of well over 20 years, our data controller is an industry workhorse. While many customers have updated their systems to take advantage of enhanced capabilities, including 10X the network speed, CPU speed, and configuration storage space of its predecessor, the 8832, many have yet to realize its benefits. The Expand and Update Engineering service provides a three-phase process to expand your storage capacity and bring your data controller up-to-date.
Read the 8864 Expand and Update information sheet to learn how the Engineering team can help you improve the performance of your data controller.
Out-of-date and nuisance alarms occur because DAS systems change over time. These alarms aren't just annoying - they compromise overall system effectiveness and compliance. Our three-step Alarm Health Check process will help you eliminate nuisance and other unneeded alarms, provide updates to alarm configurations and triggers, then document and test alarm changes.
Private Engineering Training provides you with the opportunity to learn from an ESC Spectrum Engineer using your own DAS system. You can determine what subjects you want to cover in advance, then work with an Engineer to update your system.
