Dwyer DLI - Manual (Page 10)

View Dwyer Read Me, View Dwyer Software Manual are documents about Dwyer data loggers,
software, and more. After installation, the software will be listed under the default Dwyer software
program group and saved under the default C:\Program Files\Dwyer 2.00.xx\ directory.
Running the Software
Run the software by selecting the Dwyer icon in the Dwyer Software program group. The software
will open and is immediately ready for starting a device or downloading data. The tool bar and menu
items will appear as shown below. All toolbar commands are also menu commands.
NOTE: Throughout this manual, when a menu command has a corresponding toolbar command, the toolbar icon is
included with the description of the menu command.
Getting Started
For simplicity and ease of use all Dwyer data loggers operate similarly. The Dwyer data logger
software automatically configures itself specifically for each class of logger by reading the device
type. Each class of logger has a unique device type and identifies itself when queried by the host
computer. This has been implemented to minimize confusion and to eliminate the need to learn
different software packages. Therefore, only one software package and only one manual is required
for all Dwyer Data Loggers. In certain instances where differences occur, an attempt is made in this
manual to bring clarification and avoid confusion. Most examples used in this manual are for the
HTDL-10, but can be extended to all devices.
Quick Start Guide
For immediate use of the data logger, follow these six simple steps:
1. Install the software (see Software Installation , if help needed with this step).
2. Attach the logger to the host computer using the interface cable, as shown in the Interface
Cable Installation below (IFC110 example).
3. From the Communication Menu, select Auto Configure port.
4. From the Device Menu, select Start Device.
5. Select the Reading Rate to be used.
6. Click on Start Device.
After a brief pause while the software communicates with the device, the user will see the message
Device Started. The device is now running and taking measurements. Place it in the elected
environment to perform its measurements. When the user is ready to view the measurements, simply
connect it to the computer and select Read Device Data from the Device Menu .
