data point. But, the shuttle will still re-launch the log-
ger.
Step 3:
Transferring data to your computer
To download data from the shuttle to the computer,
connect the shuttle to the PC interface cable and open
Specware software. The download sequence is
initiated by selecting the
Get WatchDog Data
option
from the
Logger
menu or by clicking the
Get Watch-
Dog Data
button on the SpecWare toolbar. When the
data transfer is complete, check
OK
on the
Translate
Logger Data
box. The
Save Logger Data
box will
then appear. Choose the
Logger Location
where you
want to save the file. All new dataloggers require that
you create a new
Logger Location
the first time the
logger is read out.
The sequence of downloading data from the shuttle to
the computer is the reverse of how it was offloaded
from the data loggers. In other words, data from the
last data logger offloaded to the shuttle will be the first
data transferred to the computer. After downloading
data from a shuttle position to the PC, the shuttle’s
LCD will automatically increment to the next available
position. If data from more than one data logger is
saved to the shuttle, you will be prompted to select or
create a
Logger Location
after each successive
logger’s data has been downloaded. When the last
shuttle position has been downloaded to the PC, the
LCD will read “OFF” (see
