February 4, 2012 Leave a comment

Watts Up? 62485 Real Time Logging Software
The Watts Up meters are great analytical tools using the free software that comes with them, but you can get much more information and enhanced features with this Real Time Logging Software package. This logging software creates log files and strip charts, sends email notifications, updates in real time, and automatically calculates statistics.

What Does It Do?

The Real Time Software gives you continuous logging of data in real time and can generate strip charts of various parameters, showing x number of minutes or samples. Email notifications are sent to you automatically based on criteria you select – peak usage, voltage sag, total usage, etc. Log files are created automatically for your desired intervals – daily, every 10k records, etc. and can be exported to Excel or Word. The refresh rate can be as fast as 1 second. Read more

First and only tool to combine a utility knife with a wire cutter, stripper and crimper

January 25, 2012 Leave a comment

RAPID TOOLS RAPID SHARK Heavy-duty Cutting carpet, drywall, nylon rope and asphalt shingles requires the right tool for the job; so does cutting, stripping and crimping wire for that matter. You can forget about those old utility knives with hard to grip holders and cheap blades that dull and break after only a couple uses, and forget about buying a separate wire stripping tool. The RAPID TOOLS RAPID SHARK Heavy-duty “BIG BITE” Combination Utility Knife is two tools in one, a utility knife and a wire cutter/stripper/crimper. It features rugged, professional-grade construction with a comfortable ergonomic grip. It uses RAPID TOOLS own patented RAPID EDGE serrated blades that are built to last. The blades withstand longer use because the cutting friction is handled by five individual cutting surfaces; other blades only have one straight edge. Slide’n'Lock technology allows you to adjust the amount of the blade that is exposed for precise cutting. Extra blades can be stored within the holder and a quick change design allows you to efficiently remove an old blade and replace it with a new one. When you’re ready to work with wire, a spring-loaded wire cutter opens easily and cuts comfortably, which locks securely into the body of the knife when your done. The precision ground stripping holes easily remove insulation from thick 6 to 12 gauge wires. Whether you’re a casual DIYer or a professional, this tool is a must-have for everyone; it will assist you in getting the job done faster, safer and easier. Read more

Simultaneously Monitor Two Satellite Signals for a Perfect Installation

January 4, 2012 Leave a comment

Steren 203-510 Dual Satellite Signal Level MeterThe Steren 203-510 Dual Satellite Signal Meter is two satellite meters in one and has been designed for the installation and maintenance of a satellite TV system. It can simultaneously monitor two satellite LNBs while Providing accurate alignment of altitude, elevation and tilt-skew. It features signal strength measurement by both meter indication and audible tone indication for dish antenna peaking. Amplified broadband detector and variable gain controls allow detection of wide range of input levels, LNB voltage and current measurement is also provided. An internal, rechargeable NiCad battery pack with output switchable between 13V, 18V, 13V/22KHz and 18V/22KHz allows a dish antenna to be installed prior to installation of the satellite receiver. The output voltage and tone presence from a satellite receiver can also be monitored.

  • Simultaneously monitors two satellite LNBs
  • Accurate alignment of altitude, elevation and tilt-skew
  • Amplified broadband detector and variable gain controls allow detection of wide range of input levels
  • Audio tones enable rough signal detection
  • Meter deflection for precise acquisition
  • Meters can be independently switched between level, current, voltage and 22kHz tone
