Software/Cable Requirements

software version 4.3 or later and a PC interface cable for operation. For optional
operation with a Palm handheld, the HOBO LCD logger requires HandCar
software version 1.1 or later, and a Palm handheld interface cable.
Functional Overview
The HOBO LCD logger records time-stamped relative humidity (RH) and
temperature measurements in nonvolatile memory and also displays the current
temperature and RH on the LCD. Logging parameters are set from a host
computer running BoxCar Pro software. The logger is then started using the host
computer or a Palm handheld running HandCar software. The logger updates
displayed measurements every five seconds. The sample (logging) interval is
software-selectable from one second to nine hours. Data in the LCD logger can be
offloaded to a host computer or Palm handheld.
