The logged data from a probe or meter can be transferred to a PC using the 

HI9298194

 application. 

The software is compatible with Windows

®

 10 & below.

HI9298194

 software offers a variety of features (meter info, parameters, view & plot, export or delete 

log data and on-line help). 
Saved logged data can be imported into most spreadsheet programs to be further analyzed or graphed.

Software Installation

Download & install the 

HI9298194

 application from http://software.hannainst.com.

Meter to PC Connection

1.  With the meter off, disconnect the probe.
2.  Connect the USB cable to the meter and to a USB port on the PC.
3.  Turn the meter on and the message “PC connected” will be displayed.

4.  Run the 

HI9298194

 application software.

5.  Press 

Setting

 button on the top of the screen and select the desired measurement units.

6.  To access the meter data select the “Meter” button on the toolbar at the top of the screen. 

The PC-Meter connection will be established and a new window will be displayed with meter 
data: status information (software version and date, SN, ID, battery level and free memory info), 
as well as a summary of logged data lots.

7.  The lots logged on the meter can be saved to the PC by pressing the “Download lot” button after 

the desired lot is selected.

8.  Once the lot has been downloaded, all the logged samples can be viewed.
