    Later, you may use WolfSense™ PC software on the Lap PC to open files of logged readings for printing, graphing or exporting to a word processor or spreadsheet. In the DirectSense™ 100 kit, the probe (model IQ-410) has four sensors which provide five measurements: Temperature (°F/°C), Relative Humidity (%RH), Dew Point, Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Carbon Dioxide (CO ).

  • Page 8: Powering

    Like the Lap PC, the probe runs on batteries or with an AC adapter. The probe uses only alkaline batteries. The GrayWolf kit provides two D cells and a 110VAC adapter (240VAC in Europe) for the probe. WolfSense IAQ LAP software will warn you if the probe’s battery voltage is low.

  • Page 9: Setting Up The Hardware And Software

    Setting up the Hardware and Software The serial port on the Lap PC (as in Figure 2) is used to connect to the probe while taking readings. Before attaching the probe, be sure the COM port is clear and that the COM indicator appears in the lower right-hand side of the screen.

    Creating, Selecting and Deleting Site Folders and Location Files First, create or select the site folder you need. Then, create or select a location file in that site folder. The next time a log begins, readings will collect in the location file you just selected. This location file collects readings until you select a different location file for logging.

Click on or tap the Snapshot toolbar button or Log, Snapshot Log. The dialog box confirms the name of the location file to which values are being logged.

  • Page 17: Auto Start/Stop Log

    Auto Start/Stop Log The Auto Start/Stop Log allows you to specify a starting date and time, an ending date and time, and an interval. Because it will start and stop automatically, this log mode is particularly useful for unattended logging and/or for pre-programming the system for delivery to a measurement location in the PCC-15 deluxe hardshell security case.
