Just wondering?
Has anyone heard of or been in the field where a notebook can be hooked up to an interface of a refrigeration or AC system to monitor all aspects of the operation. Sort of like a vehicle's interface. I kind of think it would really be nice to tap in and see pressure's, temperatures, current, limits, voltage etc without even touching a valve. I don't know if anything like this exists yet but I would sure like to see it in the near future. Outfitting initially would be a bit high but, maybe it would save time, be safer and cut down on venting. Any thoughts?

Re: Just wondering?
any better brand has it since many years: Daikin, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Hitachi,...
We installed a Mitsubishi +/- 9 years ago.
I bet you're a young tech.It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Yeah, nothing new here, move along.
I'm doing supervision and adjustments to parameters of units in France while sipping my coffee with my nice long-legged colleague.
Picotech has been providing current measurements with remote monitoring since long ago.
EXVs can be adjusted to increase or decrease superheating across the atlantic pond.

Is that the same Picotech (UK based) from which we use USB datalogging equipment?

Most of the industrial refrigeration systems I see have this capability. You can view the data from any PC using the internet or a modem.
If fact, these systems also usually have a dedicated PC so you can see anything that the control system is connected to.
Very helpful if the control system is done correctly.
