Getting Started

•

Install version 9.0 or higher of DicksonWare™ Software (compatible with Windows® 98 or higher).

•

Connect the cable (supplied with the software) to the logger and to a working USB port on your

computer.

•

Your computer may detect the logger when the logger is powered on and connected to the computer

via the USB connection. Depending on your version of Windows, the computer may go through an Add

New Hardware routine.

•

Click the Setup button. You will be prompted to to select a USB or Serial COM Port connection, then

click Continue. A Setup window will appear, and all fields should be automatically filled in, this will

confirm that DicksonWare™ has recognized the logger. Should all fields remain blank, refer to "No

Communication" in the Troubleshooting section of this manual. Once DicksonWare™ recognizes the

logger, press the Clear button. This will delete all data currently stored.

Please refer to the "Software and Logger Operations" section of this manual for more Setup and

Download instructions.

•

The logger is now sampling and ready for use, a Delta (∆) symbol will appear in the display to confirm

logging. The letters PI will also appear in the display to represent the unit of measure, POUNDS per

SQUARE INCH. The default sample interval is 1 minute. You may choose to change Default settings for

sample interval and start-date and time. When changing these settings, the logger will automatically

go through the clear process to accept your changes.

•

Note: To achieve longer battery life during operation, use a less frequent sample rate, disconnect the

unit from the USB port when not downloading data, limit the frequency of memory card transfers, and

DO NOT insert the memory card all the way unless downloading.

Operating Instructions

Note: The loggers have a continuous display that cannot be disabled.

Button Functions:

Download

•

Note: This feature is only for use with the Dickson Memory Cards.

•

Pressing this button will download any data stored in the logger to the removeable memory card.

STORE will appear on the display momentarily and the counter will start counting down from 100. DO

NOT remove the memory card until STORE is no longer in the display and the unit is displaying current

readings.

•

Note: Leaving the memory card installed in the Logger will reduce battery life by 50%. If you notice

"Err" on the display, please refer to the Trouble Shooting section of this manual.

MIN/MAX

•

Pressing this button will start the Min/Max display cycle.

Clearing MIN/MAX Values

•

Holding the "MIN/MAX" button down for 10 seconds until "clr" appears on display will clear the

stored minimum and maximum values. The Min and Max displayed by the logger will be the minimum

and maximum values sensed since it was last cleared.

•

Note: DicksonWare™ will show the minimum and maximum values of the downloaded data. These

could be different than that displayed on the unit itself.

•

For Example: Your logger is set for a 2 minute sample which is good for about 11 days. After 5 days

you clear MIN/MAX. After another 6 days you download the logger. The Min/Max displayed by the

logger will be the MIN/MAX for the last 6 days. The MIN/MAX shown by DicksonWare™ will be the

Min/Max for the last entire 11 days.
