[Technical Inquiry] Where to begin?

Where to begin?

HI all,

I'm the Chief Engineer of a broadcast company with four small/medium radio stations. As per FCC law, any radio station that maintains an off-site transmitter must also maintain a full-time remote control & monitoring system to it.

That being said I've never been satisfied with the industry-standard systems, which generally start at $8,000-$10,000 for a single studio/transmitter pair with only 8 or 16 monitor channels. I look at those, and then I look at an ADAM 4051, which only costs $125.00 and I laugh.

So, I want to replace everything with ADAM products, since I'm already somewhat familiar with the 4000-series after working with them at another company.

Since I'm just starting my system-design education, I'm looking for some kind of "ADAM for Dummies" guide online.

Does anyone have any suggestions for reading & learning?

Some of the concepts from the Industrial IO line apply as well:

If you know you want to present for the data being monitored we could discuss what kind of software you can use.
