Blind logger dynamic caller

A method comprising the following steps:

• (a) providing water quality data collected by one or more environmental instruments, and
• (b) changing a call interval for a selected environmental instrument of the one or more environmental instruments automatically based on the collected water quality data;
• said changing comprising:
• determining, with a call interval modifying module in communication with a logger, that a first water quality measurement of an environmental instrument exceeds a threshold value;
• switching, with the call interval modifying module, a primary call interval to a secondary call interval for the environmental instrument responsive to determining the first water quality measurement exceeds the threshold value;
• determining, with the call interval modifying module and while the environmental instrument operates according to the secondary call interval, that a second water quality measurement of the environmental instrument does not exceed the threshold value;
• and
• switching, with the call interval modifying module, the secondary call interval to the primary call interval for the environmental instrument responsive to determining the second water quality measurement does not exceed the threshold value.

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more environmental instruments for collecting water quality data,
• a communication server for communicating with the environmental instruments,
• an instrument status-based call modifying module in communication with a logger for automatically changing a call interval for each of the one or more environmental instruments based on an environmental instrument status and an environmental instrument status threshold value for the environmental instrument,
• wherein said call modifying module:
• determines that a first water quality measurement of an environmental instrument exceeds a threshold value;
• switches a primary call interval to a secondary call interval for the environmental instrument responsive to determining the first water quality measurement exceeds the threshold value;
• determines, while the environmental instrument operates according to the secondary call interval, that a second water quality measurement of the environmental instrument does not exceed the threshold value;
• and
• switches the secondary call interval to the primary call interval for the environmental instrument responsive to determining the second water quality measurement does not exceed the threshold value;
• and
• a web server for displaying on a visual display device the status of the one or more environmental instruments and/or the collected water quality data to a user,
• wherein the web server is in communication with the communication server and the visual display device.

A method comprising the following steps:

• (a) one or more environmental instruments sending collected water quality data to a communication server at a frequency based on a first call interval, and
• (b) changing a selected environmental instrument of the one or more environmental instruments from a first call interval to a second call interval automatically based on a status of the selected environmental instrument,
• said changing comprising:
• determining, with a call interval modifying module in communication with a logger, that a first water quality measurement of an environmental instrument exceeds a threshold value;
• switching, with the call interval modifying module, a primary call interval to a secondary call interval for the environmental instrument responsive to determining the first water quality measurement exceeds the threshold value;
• determining, with the call interval modifying module and while the environmental instrument operates according to the secondary call interval, that a second water quality measurement of the environmental instrument does not exceed the threshold value;
• and
• switching, with the call interval modifying module, the secondary call interval to the primary call interval for the environmental instrument responsive to determining the second water quality measurement does not exceed the threshold value.
