1.2 – About REDi
The REDi is a portable, handheld device that facilitates radio communication with
Wireless Mini loggers. The REDi enables a user to gather recorded data from
selected loggers and to collect the log data from many remote sites before
transferring this data to a PC. In addition, the REDi has the ability to display
statistics about the data (including readings out of specification) and to restart
loggers.
The unit is physically arranged in an easy to hold handheld plastic case which is
battery powered and contains a large liquid crystal display (160 x 160 bitmap)
and 7 key keyboards. A communications connector, which allows the REDi to be
connected to a PC, is supplied with the unit and can be mounted at the top of the
unit.
The REDi is menu based. To trigger actions and display data the user must
select a menu item by using the up / down arrow keys to move a highlight bar
over that option then select it using the Select key (OK button). The Select key is
also used to toggle between states and to return to a higher level menu.
The REDi has a power down key (bottom left hand button) which will
immediately put the unit into sleep mode, as well as an escape key which will
return the screen to an earlier menu (generally Menu 1).
