Radio Ohmstik Communication
The user is able to view the measurement sets on both a Display Unit and on a
laptop running Radio Ohmstik software. These communications may be used singly,
or at the same time.
With Radio Ohmstik software and GPS, the following data may be written to the
data fi le: Amps, Micro-Ohms, Date, Time, Comments, Latitude, and Longitude (with
the GPS USB plugged into the laptop).
Communicating to the Display Unit:
The Display Unit is designed to be attached
to a hot stick or held by hand. The sensor transmits the live readings to the Display
Unit via radio. This functionality allows the user to easily see readings were taken.
Readings are not saved on the Display unit.
Communicating to the Laptop:
With the Radio Ohmstik software loaded, and
the radio adapter plugged in, the Sensor will transmit the data and readings to the
laptop. The measurement set will automatically be saved as a .csv fi le for future
review.
