Downloading the Loggers
Use either the WatchDog Manager or the “Get data from
an Original WatchDog logger, Shuttl” toolbar
button to save the logger data. When the
download is complete , a dialog box will appear
indicating the readout and translation complete.
All new loggers require you to create a new
Logger Location the first time the logger is read out.
IMPORTANT: Until the logger is relaunched, the data
remains on the logger and can be downloaded again.
Once data has been downloaded, you must relaunch
the logger to continue making measurements. Clicking
the Start in the “Launch Options” screen erases any
previously recorded data from the logger
Trouble Shooting
Commonly asked questions include:
Q. Why does my button display the following message
“Unable to connect one wire exception 1-wire not
available?
A. Owapi.dll needs to be registered, go to Windows
Start, Run and type “Regsvr32
C:WINDOWSsystem32owapi.dll then click OK.
Q. What does it mean if I received the following mes-
sage “Unable to access the button logger interface.
This is probably due to Java not being installed on
this computer?”
A. You need to check your C:\SpecWare folder for
msjavx86.exe and double click it to run it. If it is not
there then you need to install the Java Library from
our website, www.specmeters.com. Go to Features,
Tech Support, Software Updates, Spec 7 Pro and
Basic Updates and download the Java Library Build
0133.

SpecWare Software
Complete details on the software are included in the
SpecWare Software manual which is available as a .pdf
document on the installation CD (and accessible via the
Help menu). The following sections summarize the
most commonly used functions.
Set the measure-
ment interval rang-
ing from 1 to 120
minutes and en-
sure all channels
are enabled. The
Delay Start option
allows you to start
logging data at a
later time.
If the “Wrap
around when full"
box is checked,
when the logger
reaches its maximum data capacity, each new data re-
cord will overwrite the oldest. If the “Wrap around when
full” box is NOT checked the logger will simply stop re-
cording data once the maximum capacity has been
reached. Click the “OK” button to launch the logger.
Launching the Loggers
The “Launch Options” screen is used to config-
ure the logger and activate it so it can collect
data. The launch screen can be accessed
through the WatchDog Manager or by clicking
the “Launch Original WatchDog Logger” toolbar button.

Model specifications
*Use included plastic bag when measuring soil temperature
Button Loggers are NOT “waterproof” they are rated
IP65, meaning water can be sprayed or splashed
upon it, but it cannot be immersed.
Continuous contact with water through immersion
or by burying in soil will degrade the seal and may
result in product failure. The enclosed plastic enve-
lopes with the loggers can be used to protect the
loggers if you are measuring temperatures. Enve-
lopes should not be used if also measuring RH.
Please remember to periodically check button log-
gers after installation. Loggers buried in plastic en-
velopes may deteriorate over time .

Docking Stations
There are two types of docking stations that can be
used with your B-Series Loggers see chart below.
The Docking Station is used to connect the WatchDog
B-Series (Model 100) Data Loggers to a PC. This
manual will aid you in using your docking station. Read
it thoroughly to insure proper and effective use.
Connecting the docking station to the PC
3655K Serial
The 3655K docking station has a serial port interface.
To connect to a PC that does not have a serial port, you
will need to purchase a USB to serial adapter (item
3661USB). This item requires SpecWare 6.0 or greater.
3655K1 USB
The 3655K1 docking station has a USB interface.
Before connecting to a PC for the first time, the USB
driver must be installed. This is done by either installing
or updating SpecWare 9 (Pro or Basic) to Build 0204 or
higher. Previous builds of SpecWare 9 can be updated
via free downloads available at www.specmeters.com.
The software version can be checked by selecting
“About SpecWare” from the Help menu.
Model Connection Type Software Needed
3655K 9-Pin Serial SpecWare 6.0 or greater
3655K1 USB SpecWare 9 Build 204 or
greater

Connecting the logger to the docking station
The WatchDog B-Series data loggers simply snap onto
the docking station as shown in the photo below. While
attached to the docking station, the logger may be read
and/or relaunched using SpecWare software.
The docking station has two blue buttons/docks. Either
may be used with your data loggers (do not however
use both simultaneously).
Removing logger from the docking station
Grab the data logger on two sides and pull up on a slight
angle (as pictured below). Do not grab the corner of the
backing and pull as the severe bending that results may
separate the backing from the logger.
