• Export data to CSV or XML format files.

The Windows version is supplied free of charge and without licence restrictions. The executable application can be downloaded here.

Revision History

Version 3.1.6  (Updated 23rd June 2010)

 - Fixed intermittent issue setting SDI-12 level with some Hawk XT units.  When setting level, XT would not go back into SDI-12 transparent mode to retrieve the water depth from the sensor.  Extended comms activity to ensure XT always goes into this mode.

 - Fixed bug with exporting multi channel data immediately after it was read from the logger - only one channel was being exported.

Version 3.1.5

 - Added Isodaq SDI-12 8 Way Digital Sensor
- New versions of firmware
  FROG DNP3 version 21.17 (Fixed bug with DNP3 Rainfall reporting)
  Hawk XT version 1.79 DNP3 version 21.79 (Fixed bug modem shutdown glitch)
- Fixed small memory leak with graph popup detail text.
- Windows 7 specific Harvest fixes.  View Data File now works - uses Temporary Internet folder to temporarily store XML file instead of c:\Program Files\Harvest\.  Data is automatically saved in c:\Program Files\Harvest\data\ by default but you have to either save it somewhere else or go to the folder in Windows Explorer and select Compatibility Files and it will then display the hidden XDQ data files in that folder.  Check For Updates does not work in Windows 7 because of tight security on the directory c:\Program Files\Harvest\.  Check for Updates link now takes you to a link on the Isodaq website on Windows 7.
- Added option Help -> Logger Manuals to provide an automatic web link to get the latest version of the data logger manuals for Hawk XT, Hawk RT and FROG.

Version 3.1.4  (Updated 28th April 2010)

- Added option for Daily Flow Totals with alarms on FROG and Hawk RT.
- Added Vietnam GPRS configuration settings.
- New versions of firmware with updated GSM and GPRS support for Telit GSM modem and Daily Flow Totals configuration option.
  FROG version 1.16 (DNP3 version 21.16)
  Hawk RT version 1.36 (DNP3 version 21.36)
  Hawk XT version 1.78 (DNP3 version 21.78)

Version 3.1.3

- Fixed issue with pulse input and a derived flow channel on the Hawk XT and FROG.
- Fixed issue displaying two digital channels on Hawk RT with A45 card Ch 1 and Ch 3 digitals configured.  
- Fixed issue with GPRS check-in options Daily Checkin with more regular check-ins when in alarm condition. Loggers were checking in hourly etc all the time instead of only in alarm condition.

Version 3.1.2

- Added SDI-12 sensor management.  The user can now add, edit or remove SDI-12 from a User Defined SDI-12 Sensor list.  The full sensor list XdqSens.xml comes with the Harvest software installer and gets updated on every new installation or software update.  The library of User Defined SDI-12 Sensors
is maintained in the file UserSdi12Sensors.xml and it is not overwritten when a new version of the software is installed.  
- Lets you choose the SDI-12 level calibration type even if the Channel tag is not "Stage".  The SDI-12 channel calibration now has an option for all channels of "SDI-12 Normal" calibration or "SDI-12 Set Level" calibration.
- Added example data files for FROG with In-Situ RDO PRO and FROG with In-Situ Aqua Troll 200.
- Added YSI 600 OMS SDI-12 sensor.
- Fixed problem with number formatting on with numbers of 1000 or over.  This
  was related to the new floating point formatting using the Windows locale.

Version 3.1.0

- Added "joins" on graph for XDQA file display.  Will show system status values when you hover over check-in date.
- Changed SDI-12 level setting.  Local comms no longer requires "last logged value" to be valid when setting SDI-12 level - now talks directly to sensor when setting SDI-12 level.  Setting SDI-12 level remotely by dialling site with a modem still uses "last logged value" method.
- Fixed bug where you could not set level to 0.0 with an SDI-12 sensor.
- Formats floating point numbers using Windows locale.  e.g. 1,6 or 1.6.

Version 3.0.9

- Removed possible bug with SDI-12 channel re-calibration.  When re-calibrating an SDI-12 channel on a sensor it was possible that a "Stage/Level" level reading could get corrupted.
- Added In-Situ RDO Pro DO SDI-12 sensor.
- Fixed bug with Setting level Below Datum with an SDI-12 sensor.  There were issues when changing from Above to Below datum.

Version 3.0.8  (Updated 4th February 2010)

- Added Campbell Scientific Temperature And Relative Humidity CS215 SDI-12 sensor
- Added OTT SE 200 SDI-12 shaft encoder sensor.
- No longer allows 10s or 30s logging for SDI-12 on Hawk XT or FROG.
- Contains Slovakian GPRS settings
- Now possible to specify the number of decimals for an SDI-12 channel.
- Fixed FROG bug where adding a second SDI-12 sensor would cause a problem.
- Fixed FROG bug with derived channel where you could not select the channel to be derived from.
- Fixed FROG and Hawk XT bug with derived channel where it was sometimes not shown correctly.
- Fixed bug with FROG configuration where if you selected SDI-12 address 2 it would appear as a Channel 2.
- Now only shows appropriate sensors for FROG Channel 1 (Digital) and Channel 2 (4-20mA).
- No longer shows FROG "Description" field which is not available on the FROG.
- No longer shows GPRS data usage field as Telit QC864 modem does not support it
- Fixed bug with DNP3 address changing when using "Set Telemetry Parameters" only (it would not change the values on logger even though you entered them).
- Comes with Hawk XT firmware 1.76 and 21.76, Hawk RT firmware 1.32, FROG firmware 1.12 and 21.12.  This provides support for Telit QC864 modem in addition to GR64 and GM47 GSM/GPRS modems.
- Plots HLC history
- Hawkeye 1 and 2 firmware no longer comes with the installation.

Version 3.0.6  (Updated 20th October 2009)

- Added Channel Number e.g. Ch 6 to SDI-12 data graph title.
- Fixed bug that meant that the SDI-12 address that you entered did not get used when you were sending a "Request Measurements" SDI-12 command.  It was always defaulting to address 0 no matter what was selected.
- Fixed issue where Hawk RT Rainfall example file could not be loaded.
- Added GSM Signal Test option to save graph of results to the Clipboard for putting in reports or saving to bitmap file.
- Updated list of SDI-12 sensors.
