The latest in Hart's LogWare line of software, LogWare III interfaces with the new Model 1620 "DewK" Thermo-Hygrometer to perform real-time data acquisition and storage of temperature and humidity data. This software can also download data directly from the logger's memory or import data written to a PC card. Other key features include many security features (user names, passwords, and access levels), data analysis, statistical calculations, printing reports, and exporting data to TXT, RTF, and HTML files.

LogWare III is a Windows® application that retrieves, stores, and analyzes data from the Hart Model 1620 “DewK” Thermo-Hygrometer (logger).

LogWare III can import data batches from PC cards or download data directly from the DewK’s memory. In addition, LogWare III can log data in real time via an RS-232 cable. Real-time data may be logged from one or both of a DewK’s sensors, providing up to two temperature and two humidity inputs.

All data is stored in a single database and is easily retrievable based on date and time ranges and sensor names (which can be modified to indicate locations). Configurable user accounts and access levels can ensure appropriate security and integrity of all stored data.

Real-time data may be viewed in customizable graphic and statistical formats. Graphs can be displayed for both temperature and humidity for one or both sensor inputs in user-selectable time-increments. A variety of critical statistical functions can also be shown for each input, including min, max, average, and standard deviation. Alarm settings accompany imported, downloaded or real-time data and can be highlighted in the graphs and displayed statistics. Alarm events can also be triggered from the software while logging data in real-time.

LogWare III allows onscreen viewing of logged data. It also prints reports and exports data easily to multiple file formats that can be viewed in Excel or other common spreadsheet and database programs.
