MControl is the user interface of MLogger Logging Systems.
MControl runs on a Windows platform networked to the Linux-based MLogger through an Ethernet port or standard wifi connection. All of the user control, viewing, editing, and downloading of MLogger data is performed using MControl.
Total gas, rate of penetration, and chromatograph values are displayed as colored curves on a chart that can be toggled between time-based or depth-based All scales can be adjusted as needed. Depth tics appear on the right hand side of the chart.
On / off bottom and pump circulation status is displayed as solid colored lines as they occur. Logging parameters are also displayed in digital form in the boxes at the upper right of the MControl screen. Parameters such as depth, lag time, and gas detector calibration factors are set using drop-down menus under the setup tab.
Chromatograms (C1- IC4) are displayed in the lower right-hand portion of the window. The status bar (center right) displays the current values of the separate filaments in volts. The status bar is used in zeroing the instrument, displaying the current status of the chromatograph, and the time elapsed for the chromatograph run in seconds. Drillers hole depth and bit depth are displayed on the second line of the status bar when the rig is equipped with a WITS capable electronic drill recorder. Edited logging data is exported in LAS or ASCII format for import into most mud log editors.
MControl is built using standard networking technology because if there is an internet connection to the MLogger, then you have ability to login to your MLogger from anywhere in the world using a custom Extranet dashboard page. This ability can be shared by the mud logger to give real-time access to any interested parties. Click the communications tab to find out more about the MLogger connectivity options.

Detection - MLogger instruments combine proven catalytic combustion and thermal conductivity gas detection technology with specialized computing hardware and software to provide a true digital mud logging instrument. They provide a linear response from 1% to 100% methane with computer controlled switching between filaments, as gas concentrations change. The instruments are easily calibrated in the field, using 1% and 100% methane for the Model TG and and certified calibration standard containing C1 through IC4 for the Model TGC. The model TGC+C can be calibrated with 10% CO2 calibration gas, in addition to the methane and C1 through IC4 calibration gases.
Connectivity - Each MLogger also contains an advanced router running the latest Linux operating system, making remote mud logging as simple as plug and play. The MLogger is controlled & operated through our windows software called MControl. It is a .NET application which allows effortless control of any MLogger, whether sitting in your trailer or at a rig 1200 miles away. Combine MControl with our Extranet product (included with each rental) and you have a complete real time web presence for any one of your clients to login to and get real time data.
Portability - We can ship MLoggers just about anywhere via UPS, and because of its rugged construction the MLogger is designed to be worked on in the field. Filament changes require a standard screw driver. If your MLogger needs more than a filament change just replace it with the spare MLogger and send the broken one back to us for a replacement. Or give us a call, and we might be able to resolve your issue over the phone.
