1.5 Fathom Software - Overview
The
Fathom
software has been developed to aid in preparing your HR2 receivers for deployment,
retrieving data from your HR2 receivers, and in visualizing and exporting data from your HR2, VR2W,
VR2AR, VR2Tx, and VR4-UWM receivers when your study is complete.
With HR2 receivers, Fathom performs such tasks as setting the receiver’s clock, configuring the built-in
transmitter, configuring sensor (noise, tilt, temperature) logging, setting up a watch table, retrieving
receiver data files, visualizing detection and diagnostic data, and exporting receiver data to CSV format.
The visualization and data export features may also be used with VRL files (offloaded using the VUE
software) from VR2W, VR2AR, VR2Tx, and VR4-UWM receivers.
We advise that HR2 users always update to the latest version of Fathom on your entire suite of PC's
and laptops. By always using the latest version of
Fathom
everywhere, you can be assured of
compatibility with the newest HR2 receiver.
