ABOUT CAPTURE |
|
Welcome to Capture, a RAD8, RAD7 and DRYSTIK communications tool for Windows and macOS. Capture is used to download radon data files from the RAD8 and RAD7, display sophisticated graphs of radon data, configure Durridge devices, and monitor their statuses in real time. Capture 8 is offered in two editions: Capture 8 Pro and Capture 8 Lite. The Lite edition is provided free of charge, while Capture Pro offers a host of advanced features, and is recommended for RAD8 users. For details, please see the Registering Capture Pro section. Capture's radon graph window provides navigation controls, context-sensitive statistics panels, and extensive data configuration options. Radon data may be exported to a variety of human-readable formats, as well as printed in high resolution. Capture's Chart Recorder lets you monitor the status of a RAD8 or RAD7 in real time. As the instrument performs a test, the radon data can be logged to disk or to Capture Cloud in real time. In addition to Capture's RAD8 and RAD7 related functionality, the program can also communicate with the Durridge DRYSTIK ADS-3 active moisture exchanger, monitoring its status and configuring the device for optimal performance. First-time Capture users are encouraged to begin with the Obtaining RAD8 and RAD7 Data section of this manual, which provides information on connecting to a RAD8 or RAD7, transferring radon data to the computer, and displaying a radon data graph. We appreciate your purchase of Durridge instruments, and we are pleased to offer Capture to help you get the most out of your investment. More information on Durridge Products, including the RAD8 and RAD7, is available at http://www.durridge.com. |
