New Software for Palm Computing® Handhelds Offloads Data from Data Loggers
Onset Computer introduces HandCarTM software for Palm Computing handhelds to readout and launch HOBO® and StowAway® data loggers. Data from many data loggers can be stored in the Palm device, and later offloaded to a PC for graphing, analysis or export to other programs. HandCar allows users to manage their data loggers on location using the popular Palm device, eliminating the need to take the loggers back to a PC for launching and data offload.
The HandCar software provides functions to verify logger operation, view current measurements, and check battery status (for loggers that support this function). During launching, HandCar also re-synchronizes the data logger clock. HandCar runs on the Palm III, Palm V and Palm VII organizers. An optional Palm to PC interface cable is available for offloading data to a PC without the need for a docking station.
System Requirements
o Palm Computing device running Palm OS version 3.0 or higher with serial interface cradle
o Logger interface cable (CABLE-P3-L or CABLE-P5-L)
o BoxCarPro 4.0 or later software
