Introduction
2B Data Display
©
is an easy way to display and save data from your serial or USB
connection.
With easy one-click operations, data are read from your instrument and displayed on
an extremely versatile chart. Two items, such as Ozone and Temperature, can be
displayed simultaneously on the chart with multiple zoom levels. Data are
automatically saved to a .txt file and can optionally be saved to a .CSV file to be read
in Excel. Saved data can be restored for later viewing and analyzing on the chart. By
requesting an account with 2B Technologies, you can upload your data and view it on
a Google Earth overlay.
