Using NeoFox Sport
Overview
The NeoFox Sport is a field-portable extension of the NeoFox oxygen measurement system. Users of the
NeoFox Sport have the ability to make real-time measurements in the field without a computer or external
power supply. To do this, the NeoFox Sport system uses the same NeoFox measurement hardware as the
desktop NeoFox system, but also includes a battery (to supply power) and a data processing unit (to
provide a user interface).
Because the NeoFox Sport uses the same measurement hardware as the standalone NeoFox, user
experience such as setup and measurement are common between both systems. Both systems can be
connected to a PC via USB and controlled through the NeoFox Viewer software. In fact, the user
interface for the desktop NeoFox and the NeoFox Sport are exactly the same.
This chapter contains information for using NeoFox Sport without the NeoFox Viewer software.
