Software Features

Historical graphing

Once a study has been started, user can connect his

PC anytime to the base station and retrieve all the data

from the base station on the real time graph to view the

data that has been logged by the loggers to that point.

This will enable viewing historical data without having

to stop the study at the base station.

RF Map

Users can graphically view the RF Signal strength of

the loggers and their connections to other loggers and

basestation for stronger RF networks. A background

image can also be set for the RF map to position the

loggersonarealfloorplan.Theuserscanusethisas

back up documentation for looking at the position of

the loggers at a later time.

Real time graphing calculations

Realtimegraphingprovidesmin/max/avgcalculations

for the RH and Temp parameters of all the loggers

being plotted in the real time graph.

Alarming

User can set low and high alarms on the real time

graph to see if any loggers have crossed the limits. The

limits can also be labeled by the user.

Auto Calibration/Verification

RFValProbeSystemenablesautocalibration/

verification for the users when using the RF loggers,

Kaye IRTD, Kaye Temperature baths. This enables the

user to select the set points and let the software run

thecalibration/verificationincludingloadingofoffsets

into the loggers automatically.

The software will control the Kaye drywells and read

the reference temperature data from a connected

Kaye IRTD permitting full automatic calibration with

the Kaye calibration products. Providing that the

users configure the communications port , access to

automatic calibration will be permitted. Calibration is

still permitted if either drywells or IRTD is not present,

in which case either semi-automatic or manual mode

calibration is used.

Independent Report Wizard

Along with the RF ValProbe software, there is an

additional software program called the “Kaye Report

Wizard”. This report wizard permits the user to launch

the “Create Reports” section independently of the

Kaye product installed on the user’s PC. The “Create

Reports” button of the standard software will continue

to operate as in previous versions. The user can decide

install the Report Wizard in a separate folder and use it

to report on all 3 Kaye products: Validator, Valprobe or

RF Valprobe.

Interference

hopping with TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access). In

addition the mesh protocol permits the system to learn

about the RF environment and dynamically adjust the

network parameters to best fit the current situation.

The network provides an accurate time reference for

the whole network, ensuring all loggers and the base

station are time synchronized correctly. Each data

sample is timestamped with this network time.

Coexistence with Other RF Systems

The RF ValProbe complies with the IEEE 802.15.4, the

preeminent RF sensor network standard. Features like

frequency hopping, listen-before-you-talk and channel

blacklisting prevents other RF networks being affected

by the RF ValProbe.
