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.
