Kestrel® Interface & Communicator Software

• Upload weather data to a PC from any Kestrel 4000 series instrument
• Log environmental conditions continuously to a PC in real-time

With the Kestrel Computer Interface and Communicator software, the data stored on any of the Kestrel 4000 series pocket weather trackers may be uploaded to a PC. This enables long-term storage of the data, further analysis and detailed charting.

The Interface kit comprises a cradle to hold the Kestrel, a cable to connect to a USB port on the computer and the necessary software on a CD.

Should a RS232 9-pin serial connector be required to suit a serial port on a computer (instead of USB), a suitable cable is also available. Please ask for this option when you are ordering your Kestrel Interface.

Simply connect the interface cable to the appropriate port on your PC, rest the Kestrel on the cradle, and the Kestrel Communicator automatically recognises which model the Kestrel 4000 series meter you are using, and uploads the data accordingly.

The Kestrel Communicator Software is extremely easy-to-use, and allows users to review, analyse and store their data easily and efficiently. Users can also clear the Kestrel's memory banks of old data, and synchronise the Kestrel's date and time with their computer's.
