Connecting to the
Computer
To launch and/or download data from the logger, connect the
logger to a computer via the data transmission cable. This
cable is included with the SpecWare software package. The
data cable connects to an available serial port on your
personal computer and the port labeled “computer” on the
logger.
The
only time
you must have the WatchDog connected to
the computer is during the launching and downloading of the
data logger. After the logger has been launched, and/or
downloaded, disconnect the logger and place it in the
environment you wish to monitor.
If the computer will not connect with the logger, you may
need to change the battery or change the com port settings.
Refer to the
Battery Replacement
section on page 12 for
battery instructions. Refer to the
SpecWare Software
User’s Guide
for complete instructions on launching and
downloading the WatchDog loggers.
