The Comsoft 3 Professional software has all the features of the Basic version and allows the user to assign a person's name, department, company name, comments, and send e-mail.
Helpfully the professional software can toggle between number boxes and histogram on screen to define data trends and use the cross-hair function to analyse anomalies.
The professional software is ideally suited to managing and analysis of multi-logging and/or multi-location data logging systems where users require advanced "data filing".
During programming the user can define the testo 174 logger's upper and lower alarm trigger levels.
To the make the stored data extremely secure there are options for a tamper-proof wall holder and lock, and when the battery becomes empty or is changed whilst in operation the data is not lost and can still be downloaded.
Uniquely, the full memory can be completely downloaded in less than 10 seconds, a great time saving.
