Overview

BoxCar Pro 4 3, which supports all HOBO H-series loggers and StowAway loggers, is a powerful Windows-based program with extensive features for graphing, data analysis, data export and simultaneous management of multiple loggers. This starter kit includes software, PC interface cable and software manual.

Readout and Data Analysis

Readout is easy with BoxCar Pro.

Graphing

Powerful graphing capabilities allow you to compare multiple parameters on one graph, including data from multiple loggers or successive deployments. Then use the zoom and axis-control tools to focus in on the data of interest.

  • Add new data series from stored files or drag-and-drop from one plot onto another
  • Multiple value axis on one graph, such as temperature and RH
  • View data from successive deployments on one graph to see long-term trends
  • Overlay data from different deployments, to compare month-to-month, or before-and-after
  • Focus on data of interest with powerful zoom and drag tools
  • Set axis ranges
  • Use cursor to display specific plot values
  • Display series data and details such as launch parameters and series statistics
  • Add limit lines to the graph
  • Copy and paste graphs into other Windows programs
  • Control axis, series and legend properties


Analysis:


The following analysis functions can be used to extract key information from logged data. These functions actually create new data series, which can be graphed or exported. These functions filter data over user-specified intervals that can be in seconds, minutes, hours or days.

  • All Data Types:
  • Min, max and average values per interval
  • On/off and State logger data:
  • Run time and off time (closed time and open time) in seconds
  • Percent on and percent off (percent closed and percent open)
  • Number of ons and offs (number of opens and closes)


Event logger data:

  • Rainfall per time interval
  • Number of events

Specs

BoxCar Pro 4.3 System Requirements

  • PC system running Windows® XP/2000/Me/98/Vista *
  • at least one available serial COM port
  • CD-ROM Drive
  • 16-bit minimum color display
  • 10MB of available disk space

* While we do not plan on updating BoxCar or BoxCar Pro, both will operate on the Microsoft Vista platform with certain limitations. Help in BoxCar® Pro does not work with Windows Vista. Microsoft has intentionally removed the help engine from Vista that is required by BoxCar Pro and many other applications, as an encouragement for software vendors to migrate their application's Help to a new Microsoft Help facility. Microsoft has indicated that they will provide a workaround in the near term - please see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607/en-us. In any case, it will be necessary for each BoxCar Pro user to download and install this workaround when available, as Microsoft is forbidding the redistribution of the solution with third-party applications.

BoxCar Pro 4.3 is designed for single users, and has not been tested, and therefore not warranted to run in a network environment.

FAQs

Will my Onset USB Serial Adapter work with Onset software other than BoxCar® Pro 4.3? [show/hide]

The Onset USB Serial Adapter will also work with BoxCar Pro version 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 but Onset recommends version 4.3 because that includes all the latest loggers and software enhancements, and the upgrade from version 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 to version 4.3 is available as a free upgrade.

When I export to Excel, the date/time format is not recognized. [show/hide]

Following is a method of exporting the data that will fix this problem in addition to stripping the milliseconds and separating the date and time into two columns.

  1. In BCP, select Export from File menu, select Custom from pop-up menu
  2. Click 'Preferences' and:
I am having problems opening or installing BoxCar on Windows XP. [show/hide]

When I click on the setup icon or theBoxCar Icon I get the following error message. "16 bit Windows Subsystem - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application."

Installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 or certain anti virus programs may delete the AUTOEXEC.NT file. This file is required in order to install or run the BoxCar Program.
