cumbersome applications on your computer. Being browser-based,

Data that is compatible with your applications
Logged data is ready to import into common spreadsheet and data
processing applications such as Excel for further analysis and
reporting. Data can be saved to your computer in comma separated
(.CSV) format or our proprietary binary (.DBD) format.
Command window
The command window provides a terminal interface which allows
the built-in command language of the logger to be used. Macro
buttons allow common commands to be sent on a button press.
Configuration editor
The configuration editor allows you to view, edit and save
logger configurations in an easy-to-use Windows Explorer style
user interface. Tree view of configuration allows definition of
measurement schedules and measurements.
Wiring diagrams show available wiring configurations for each
sensor type. Configuration can be stored and retrieved on either the
logger or a local computer.
Channel list
Displays name, value, units, alarm state, time stamp and logging
state for each measurement.
Customisation of the application
The menu options, mimics panels and mimics can be added or
removed to suit novice or advanced users. The color and brand
name images within dEX can be customised to match corporate
requirements or for personal preference.
Mimics are organised into panels which can be modified to highlight
custom alarm conditions or data grouping. Mimics include dials, bar
graphs, thermometers etc. Real-time chart recorder mimic allows you
to view trends and historical data over a custom time/date range. Up
to 16 mimics can be displayed on up to 5 mimic pages (default is 1
page of 6 mimics).
