Thank you for purchasing a WatchDog Data Logger.
This manual describes how to use your WatchDog Logger and how
to keep it working accurately for many years. Read this manual
thoroughly in order to make effective use of your data logger.
The WatchDog Data Logger series will allow you to record and
visually monitor environmental conditions at remote sites. The
WatchDog’s exclusive liquid crystal display (LCD) eliminates the
need to download the data logger to observe current conditions.
These loggers give you the flexibility to change external sensors as
your needs vary. Simply plug the sensor into the logger port and
configure the logger to the corresponding sensor through the
software.
Download the accumulated data at your convenience using the
powerful SpecWare software. SpecWare will present the data in
graphical and tabular form. Use the software to calculate growing
degree days and chill hours, and/or view daily, monthly, and yearly
reports. Optional disease models aid the user with Integrated Pest
Management decisions.
WatchDog Model 400
SpecWare version 6.02 Build0001 or later is required to communi-
cate with the WatchDog Model 400 data logger.
It is not possible to use the regular WatchDog radiation shield (item
#3663) with the Watchdog Model 400 because this shield cannot
accommodate 4 sensor wires. Instead, you can use item #3658 to
enclose the data logger.
