Hawk - Programming and Exporting with CalWin
The Hawk9000 comes standard with 8 megabytes of storage expandable to 16 megabytes. How many samples that can be collected depends and how the data is processed after the test depends on CalWin our windows interface software. It provides a operator friendly interace that leades the user though the programming process. After the data is collected it offers many exporting features to make a simple report or a ASCII file.
Programming with CalWin
The Hawk can be programed for single rate or up to 16 seperate sample rates with a mininum sample rate of 1 second. All sensors or user configured channels can be turned off and on to conserve data storage.
Security
For added security of data for tight holes, a password can be used to prevent unauthorized downloading or reprogramming of the unit. As well the display can be set up to be always off unless a SD card with the correct password is inserted into the Hawk.
Data Capacity
The Hawk's onboard flash memory allows for over one million samples when monitoring a single silicon strain sensor. The actual samples can vary depending on how many sensors are active and the onboard flash memory size. Below are two tables showing how long a Hawk will run with the standard 8MB and extended 16MB of memory with various sensors activated.

Exporting Data with CalWin
Once downloaded CalWin can export the Hawks data into a space, comma, or tab delimited ASCII file that can be easily imported into reservoir engineering software or standard software such as Microsoft's Excel.
CalWin also has built in an advanced ASCII filtering algorithms to reduce the size of the data file for 3rd party applications with limited data processing capability.
All graphs and built in reports can be printed to a pdf file for a quick summary of the data collected.
