Wrist Reporter (WR-401) and Thumbswitch
The Heart of the Evergreen Telemetry Measurement System
The Wrist Reporter displays a continuous stream of real-time readings at the user’s wrist, hand, clipboard, or wherever seen conveniently. Connect up to 10 sensors simultaneously. Store up to 100,000 readings.
Thumbswitch
Even the act of storing the current reading in memory can be performed without reaching a hand to the keypad.
OUR WIRELESS SYSTEM
Datalog
Datalogging
The Wrist Reporter has Two Datalogging Modes:
- Mode A Up to 100,000 Readings stored in the Wrist Reporter. Intervals of 10 min, 1 min, or continuous. No PC required on-site readings upload to an Excel spreadsheet later.
- Mode B. Wrist Reporter connects to a PC. User names each sensor and selects any desired interval. Readings are stored in real time in an Excel spreadsheet. The PC determines the max number of readings.
Mode A
It is easy and convenient to datalog with the Wrist Reporter. In this mode the Wrist Reporter continuously stores and timestamps each measurement as it is received. The user can datalog just one sensor or up to 10 different sensors in different locations. The user can choose between three schedule options: continuous (every reading from every sensor is stored; every sensor once per minute; or every sensor once every 10 minutes.
The Wrist Reporter supports a maximum of 10 linked modules. If a Thumbswitch or Range Extender is linked, then the number of sensors that can be datalogged will be reduced.
Up to 20,000 readings may be datalogged. When the memory becomes full, storing will stop and an alert message will be displayed.
These types of readings may be datalogged: temperature, humidity, differential pressure. At a future date, velocity and airflow capability will be added.
Connect and Upload
The Wrist Reporter can be connected to a computer to upload the stored readings into Excel spreadsheets on a personal computer.
In order to upload the data to a computer, the user must have the necessary application software installed on their computer. The application software is provided in the Wrist Reporter Kit as a CD-ROM. When the CD-ROM is you can open the folder to view the files inside. Open the “Read Me” file to learn the process for installing the upload software to your computer. Once the software is installed you will be ready to upload.
Mode B
The Wrist Reporter is connected to a PC or laptop. The Wrist Reporter maintains a network of wireless sensors. A PC-based application is provided, at no charge, to govern the schedule for storing readings and their placement in the proper cells.
In using it the first time Internet access may be required to load the proper Microsoft support files and driver software. This program uses Microsoft’s .NET program support so the required .NET files have to be installed on your PC. The program may either try to download them from Microsoft’s web site or pop up an error message that will require going to Microsoft’s web site to download the support: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42643
You also need the Silicon Labs CP2102 driver installed. You may have previously installed this driver for use with our Wrist Reporter Data Uploader. If not, visit this site and select the correct “Download VCP” link to download (free) and install the version that is suitable for your PC / operating system: http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx
You will also need the executable file (Excel Datalogger 140728.et) located on the USB drive.
