The Tetra IoT (Internet of Things) Agent connects simple instruments, such as balances, to the Tetra Data Platform (TDP). Connectivity is provided by using both additional hardware (the Tetra IoT Agent Box)) and the Tetra IoT Layer, which provides dedicated cloud resources. Data is collected from the instrument through compatible drivers installed on the Tetra IoT Agent Box, and then is packaged into files to be uploaded to the Tetra Scientific Data and AI Cloud. From there, files can be processed by using the appropriate Tetra Data Pipeliness and Intermediate Data Schemas (IDSs).

Set Up the Tetra IoT Agent

To set up a Tetra IoT Agent, do the following:

1. If the Tetra IoT Agent Box is currently attached to an enabled Tetra IoT Agent, disable the existing Agent's connection.
2. Create a Tetra IoT Agent. You will need the ID of the newly created Agent to complete the next step.
3. Complete the Tetra IoT Box Local Setup and Configuration.
4. Sync the Tetra IoT Agent to the Tetra IoT Agent Box.
