Sample Real-Time Humidity Tab

When the Real-Time Humidity tab is active, the Real-Time Humidity viewer:

Continuously issues the device-specific command to perform a humidity conversion.

After each conversion reads the humidity registers of the selected device.

Converts the reading from the device-specific format into a conventional format.

Displays the result as a number, graph, and humidity scale.

Compresses the horizontal scale of the graph, as needed, to display additional readings.

Allows activation of automatic rescaling of the graph.

Allows graph data to be exported by using the clipboard or saving as a CSV (Excel) file.

Notes:

The Real-Time Humidity viewer closes whenever the selected device is found to be missing from the network or when another device is selected.

To keep the Real-Time Humidity viewer running while evaluating other devices, first activate the Real-Time Humidity viewer. Then on the View menu (see
Program Main Window), select Show Tab in New Window which will restart the Real-Time Humidity viewer in a new window. This separate window will remain
open, even if the device disappears from the network.

To watch humidity and temperature simultaneously, open the Real-Time Humidity and Real-Time Temperature viewers in separate windows.

With the DS1923, the humidity readings displayed are software corrected; they are not compensated for temperature or saturation drift.

The Real-Time Humidity viewer cannot read the humidity of a DS1923 that is currently running a mission.

Switch

The Switch viewer gives real-time information on the I/O channels of the selected 1-Wire addressable switch device connected to the OneWireViewer. This
information includes the channel's state, the logic level at its output, and the state of the associated activity latch. The user can change (toggle) the state of the I/O
channel and clear its activity latch. Each I/O channel of a multichannel addressable switch device can be operated individually.

The tab of the Switch viewer consists of two areas: Features (top), and Channels (bottom). The Features area lists device-specific characteristics. The number of
switches (i.e., number of channels) for the selected device is indicated by the number of channel boxes in the channels area. A digital switch can be closed (State =
true) or open (State = false). Level shows the logic equivalent of the voltage at the switch output. Each channel has two command buttons associated with it.
Depending on the size of the Switch tab and/or the device, there may be scroll bars for both areas. The Switch viewer applies to all devices that contain one or
more electronic switches. See the Supported Devices table above for the list of devices.
