Rapidlogger Systems is a provider of efficient monitoring software and hardware systems for oilfield applications. The RapidVU is a software application for the PC. The program can be used to connect directly to the Rapidlogger hardware over Ethernet cable, WiFi and Serial Channels. They can also connect to hardware from other providers and display and record job data over these channels. Additionally they can connect to Rapidlogger and third party OPC servers to acquire data.

Coiled Tubing Mode:
In this mode the system measures, displays and records: depth, speed, weight, wellhead pressure, circulating pressure, and other parameters.
Slickline Mode:
In this mode the system measures, displays and records: depth, line tension, wellhead pressure, etc. The system can also correct the depth for line stretch and thermal expansion.
Pump Truck Mode:
In this mode, on a cementing, fracturing or acid pump, the system measures, displays and records: pump pressure, pump rate, inlet pressure etc.
