Downloading the Loggers

Use either the WatchDog Manager or the “Get data from

an Original WatchDog logger, Shuttl” toolbar

button to save the logger data. When the

download is complete , a dialog box will appear

indicating the readout and translation complete.

All new loggers require you to create a new

Logger Location the first time the logger is read out.

IMPORTANT: Until the logger is relaunched, the data

remains on the logger and can be downloaded again.

Once data has been downloaded, you must relaunch

the logger to continue making measurements. Clicking

the Start in the “Launch Options” screen erases any

previously recorded data from the logger

Trouble Shooting

Commonly asked questions include:

Q. Why does my button display the following message

“Unable to connect one wire exception 1-wire not

available?

A. Owapi.dll needs to be registered, go to Windows

Start, Run and type “Regsvr32

C:WINDOWSsystem32owapi.dll then click OK.

Q. What does it mean if I received the following mes-

sage “Unable to access the button logger interface.

This is probably due to Java not being installed on

this computer?”

A. You need to check your C:\SpecWare folder for

msjavx86.exe and double click it to run it. If it is not

there then you need to install the Java Library from

our website, www.specmeters.com. Go to Features,

Tech Support, Software Updates, Spec 7 Pro and

Basic Updates and download the Java Library Build

0133.

SpecWare Software

Complete details on the software are included in the

SpecWare Software manual which is available as a .pdf

document on the installation CD (and accessible via the

Help menu). The following sections summarize the

most commonly used functions.

Set the measure-

ment interval rang-

ing from 1 to 120

minutes and en-

sure all channels

are enabled. The

Delay Start option

allows you to start

logging data at a

later time.

If the “Wrap

around when full"

box is checked,

when the logger

reaches its maximum data capacity, each new data re-

cord will overwrite the oldest. If the “Wrap around when

full” box is NOT checked the logger will simply stop re-

cording data once the maximum capacity has been

reached. Click the “OK” button to launch the logger.

Launching the Loggers

The “Launch Options” screen is used to config-

ure the logger and activate it so it can collect

data. The launch screen can be accessed

through the WatchDog Manager or by clicking

the “Launch Original WatchDog Logger” toolbar button.

Model specifications

*Use included plastic bag when measuring soil temperature

Button Loggers are NOT “waterproof” they are rated

IP65, meaning water can be sprayed or splashed

upon it, but it cannot be immersed.

Continuous contact with water through immersion

or by burying in soil will degrade the seal and may

result in product failure. The enclosed plastic enve-

lopes with the loggers can be used to protect the

loggers if you are measuring temperatures. Enve-

lopes should not be used if also measuring RH.

Please remember to periodically check button log-

gers after installation. Loggers buried in plastic en-

velopes may deteriorate over time .

B-Series Loggers

Docking Stations

There are two types of docking stations that can be

used with your B-Series Loggers see chart below.

The Docking Station is used to connect the WatchDog

B-Series (Model 100) Data Loggers to a PC. This

manual will aid you in using your docking station. Read

it thoroughly to insure proper and effective use.

Connecting the docking station to the PC

3655K Serial

The 3655K docking station has a serial port interface.

To connect to a PC that does not have a serial port, you

will need to purchase a USB to serial adapter (item

3661USB). This item requires SpecWare 6.0 or greater.

3655K1 USB

The 3655K1 docking station has a USB interface.

Before connecting to a PC for the first time, the USB

driver must be installed. This is done by either installing

or updating SpecWare 9 (Pro or Basic) to Build 0204 or

higher. Previous builds of SpecWare 9 can be updated

via free downloads available at www.specmeters.com.

The software version can be checked by selecting

“About SpecWare” from the Help menu.

Model Connection Type Software Needed

3655K 9-Pin Serial SpecWare 6.0 or greater

3655K1 USB SpecWare 9 Build 204 or

greater

Connecting the logger to the docking station

The WatchDog B-Series data loggers simply snap onto

the docking station as shown in the photo below. While

attached to the docking station, the logger may be read

and/or relaunched using SpecWare software.

The docking station has two blue buttons/docks. Either

may be used with your data loggers (do not however

use both simultaneously).

Removing logger from the docking station

Grab the data logger on two sides and pull up on a slight

angle (as pictured below). Do not grab the corner of the

backing and pull as the severe bending that results may

separate the backing from the logger.
