Three laboratories in different locations such as Bakreswar hot spring site, West Bengal, Baratang mud volcano site, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, and Tattapani hot spring site, Jammu & Kashmir have been developed so far to detect earthquake precursory signals. The various instruments in each of the laboratories include Alpha Guard radon monitor, Micro-gas chromatograph, Barasol radon monitor. All of these instruments are connected through a serial interface (RS-232) to the local server computer installed at each of the laboratories. Here we discuss in detail about the software algorithm in which automatic data acquisition from the connected instruments to the local server computer and automatic transmission of the stored data to the main server computer installed at NIT-Durgapur is done in real time. A web interface to the main server computer is also made. Using this web interface, a particular instrument of a particular laboratory can be selected. Time period (start date to end date) of the data to be accessed could be chosen and real time analysis of the data can be done.
