Introduction

The Fox Data Logger (DL) application software is the PC interface that enables a user of the Fox
Signal Strength Meter to collect and display valuable Fox scan data through a serial cable.
Fox DL was designed to allow the user to see full color displays of the scanned information while
also having the option to collect the data real-time. This data can then be converted and filtered
by Chameleon CW.
Channel tables can also be uploaded for use with the 20-channel measurement on the Fox. The
following sections of this document outline the various features of the DL.

Starting the Application

To begin using DL, make sure that you are connected to the Fox with the serial cable that
shipped with the Fox. Also, the Fox needs to be setup to send data.
Look for the RF download option under the setup menu on the Fox. Make sure that this option is
checked. Once the Fox is sending information through the serial cable, start the DL application.
When the application starts, a prompt appears for entering the correct serial port. There is also
an option for choosing whether or not to use the Fox internal GPS or from an external source
connected to a serial port. The external source must output Magellan GPRMC records.
