Automatic retention of the most recent data in a temporary on-line buffer
Logging of measured and calculated values to the PC (can be done simultaneously with local data logging)
Easy-to-read graphs and data tables
Statistical data analysis: mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum (off-line data only)
Data print-out (table or graph)
Automatic device / instrument recognition and identification
Device/instrument configuration

On each single port (RS-232, USB or TCP/IP), HW4 Professional can monitor up to 64 instruments connected together in a multi-dropped RS-485 network. The number of such networks depends on the number of available ports.
