1 ORGANIZATION OF THE HW4 MANUALS
The HW4 manuals are organized in separate books so as to limit the size of the individual documents. A list
of the HW4 manuals is provided in document E-M-HW4v3-DIR
Both the HW4 manuals (software) and device specific manuals (hardware) are available on the HW4 CD.
The manuals can also be downloaded from several of the ROTRONIC web sites.

technology and is separately described in the HW4 manual E-M-HW4v3-DR-001
o The Probe Adjustment module is used calibrate and adjust the probe humidity and temperature signals.
This module is common to all probes and instruments based on the AirChip 3000 technology and is
separately described in the HW4 manual E-M-HW4v3-A2-001
o HW4 functions that are not device dependent are covered in the HW4 manual E-M-HW4v3-Main.
When HW4 has detected a HC2-AW-USB probe, the probe
appears as an icon in the left pane of the HW4 main
screen. Click on the + sign to the left of the probe icon to
display a list of the available functional modules.
3 DEVICE MANAGER
