Major new features in versions 2.5 & 2.6:
- Multiple simultaneous instruments
- Spectral plots (backscattering vs. wavelength)
- "Calibrate" command supports lab and field recalibrations (See calibration manual).
- See release notes for more
- See also a new summary of HydroSoft data processing changes.
HydroSoft supports HOBI Labs' HydroScat-2, HydroScat-4, HydroScat-6, a-Beta, and c-Beta instruments. It allows any user of those instruments to
collect, store, graph and calibrate data, either in real time or after internal logging by an instrument. HydroSoft provides a familiar
Windows interface for setting instrument sample rates and other parameters, and for flexible display of multiple data plots.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
HydroSoft requires Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, or subsequent 32-bit Windows operating system. A 133 MHz Pentium or faster processor with
at least 32MB of RAM is recommended. HydroSoft and the files required to support it occupy a maximum of about 10M of hard disk space.
INSTALLATION:
To install HydroSoft version 2.6, download and run the self-extracting installer
InstallHydroSoft260.exe. For more information, see the
Calibration Manual, User's Manual and Release
