In addition to the Android application, users can also use the free Windows

complete user manuals can be downloaded here:

www.monarchinstrument.com/Software/Track-It_RFID_PC_Install.zip

Once the file has been downloaded, unzip the files to a local folder on your PC
and run the CDStart.exe program. This will launch a menu where you can install
the PC software and USB docking station drivers. Complete User Manuals are
also available from this menu.

The pushbutton on the device can be used to start and stop the record mode
and/or indicate the status of the logger. A quick button press and release (less

The push button on the logger can also be used to start and stop the logger 1
time per logging session (this feature must be configured using the Android or
PC software). Pressing and holding the button on the logger for longer than 2
seconds will activate the feature if it has been configured to do so.

If you have programmed the logger to record on button press it will not begin
recording until activated by the push button. That record session can then be
stopped by pressing and holding the button again. There can only be one start
and one stop per record session. The logger must be reconfigured using the
Android App or PC program before it can be used again.
